U.S.
Ambassador to Ghana (2022-2025)This is a love letter to Ghana: in praise of her democracy, stability, warmth, and entrepreneurialism but most of all tolerance - between faiths, between ethnic groups, even between political rivals.
I witnessed this tolerance firsthand when I saw Ghanaian civil society organisations, academics, and national leaders defend the principle of human rights for all, and when I had the honour of getting to know the National Chief Imam, who has preached - and demonstrated - tolerance in that highest role for more than 50 years.Ghana continues to lead the way for West Africa and beyond - from forging a path to independence nearly 70 years ago to serving as a regional model for stability and inclusive growth.
And the future of the U.S.-Ghana relationship is bright, underpinned by our shared commitment to the free market and democratic values.
