My name is Obaa Akua Konadu and I currently work as the Policy and Advocacy Manager at the Youth Empowerment Synergy in Accra, Ghana. I enjoy working in this space because I am engaged in working to improve the lives of young people in Ghana. I also serve as a Junior Mentor on the Databank’s Young Leaders Mentorship Program. My academic background has mainly been in development studies. I am particularly keen on issues relating to cities, urban growth, housing, youth empowerment, women’s well-being and education. I enjoy reading, particularly African Literature.
