Samuel Asare: "from rags to robes", rural Ghana to the University of Oxford

from Bristol2Beijing · host Luke Grenfell-Shaw

In this episode, Samuel Asare Twumasi Ampofo tells me about his childhood, describing the challenges he faced growing up in rural Ghana - with career prospects starting and ending at cocoa farmer - and how he defied every difficulty and expectation to study and develop himself. His journey so far has brought him to the University of Oxford, from which he graduated in 2019. We also hear Samuel's thoughts on racism, diversity and why his favourite place in the world is at once one and many.
