Celebrate Mikal's Courageous Move to Ghana

Mikal is moving to Ghana on September 4th! Amidst an Ivy League education and a promising future, it took courage to leave his family, his country, and a full-ride scholarship to Duke University. Amidst strong opposition and criticism, it took self-determination and self-awareness to follow his heart and be led by his spirit. It took imagination to see beyond what is and to create what he could be as the youngest to repatriate in Ghana at age 19, as a master beekeeper serving man and nature, and as a free man in Africa.

A GoFundMe has been set up so that family, friends and colleagues can join me in celebrating Mikal’s courage, self-determination and imagination by giving him a quintessential introduction to Ghana. To start his journey, the 26th Annual Sankofa Journey provides an opportunity for Mikal to learn about Ghana, repatriation, day-to-day life and much more. No amount is too small. It’s the thought that counts!
