African Diasporan of the Week: Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao

Dr. Arikana Chihombori Quao

International Artist & Businessman Akon with Dr. Arikana Chihombori Quao

This week I choose Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao for three reasons:
1. She used her platform and influence as the PERMANENT AMBASSADOR to The African Union to educate people about slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism with the intention to inspire, empower, and support Young African Leaders.
2. Her mindset is innovative, and she believes in empowering the youth in any way that she can.
3. She looks like my Mom and... I just like her.
