Welcome to my world.

This is perhaps the most significant speech I’ve given in my career so far. I had an amazing opportunity to share my story as a Ghanaian living in America to an audience that included renowned Civl Rights leader Diane Nash as well as Northwestern University students and professors.

This was one of my first explainers for CNBC. It was my favourite to edit and produce because the story was so rich in history.

I felt incredibly blessed to be presenting a video in Paris for the first time. I think my smile here was the widest in my presenting career so far haha! I had a blast presenting as well as arranging the video and music elements for this story.

When I first started to produce this story I struggled. Our team’s database had limited video of Vietnam and I wasn’t sure how it would resonate with our audience. But after we published, I was amazed by the number of people inspired by how the Vietnamese had handled the Covid-19 pandemic. Our video trended on YouTube (highlight!) and has been my most viewed video in my career so far.

At the time I pitched and produced this video, many tagged Tiktok as the ‘up and coming’ social media platform. Our team didn’t realise how big it will get in a matter of months! I was incredibly fortunate to interview platform influencers, Anna O’Brien and Andrea Okeke. They were so amazing to talk to, and dancing with them was the most fun I had had on a shoot!
