Abusuapanyin Kwabena Acheampong's skin tone gives him away easily as a Whiteman; a typically unusual attribute of persons who serve in such highly-respected positions in the Ashanti kingdom.
But in his case, with a British father and mother who is a Kumawu royal, things have been slightly different in his life.
For instance, as he puts it in his own words, unlike other light-skinned people like him, he could manage himself well in situations where he would be bullied. "At St Paul, they wanted about 500 people for the boarding house and I was the only White person among them… at the time, if you provoke me, I will also reply you.
If you beat me, I would also beat you, because the mindset with everyone was that for a White person, his bones are weak, but in my case, I come from here and rather, anywhere else I go, that is when I am a stranger," he told Oheneba1tv.
