My Story: Kwame from Ghana
KwameGhana Brixton, London
We met Kwame on the streets of Brixton and asked him about his journey, his heritage, and what community means to him.
Q&A
Where are you from originally?
I was born in Kumasi, Ghana. I came to the UK when I was 12.
What does Sankofa mean to you?
It means remembering where I came from. My parents always taught me that you can't move forward if you don't know where you've been.
What do you wish the diaspora community had more of?
Spaces. Just spaces where we can be ourselves. Not at work, not at church, just... us.
