Podcasts about Accra

Tomato prices are rising across several markets in Accra following last week's deadly attack on Ghanaian traders in neighbouring Burkina Faso, with market women warning that the resulting shortage is driving costs higher and leaving consumers struggling.

Tomato traders in Accra have confirmed that about 10 Ghanaian traders, one woman and nine men, were allegedly shot and burned by terrorists in Burkina Faso last Saturday.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Nana Asomani-Poku in Jamestown, Accra during a walking tour through featuring stories told in images by Glocal Citizen, James Barnor. It was during the James Barnor @‌95 celebration in 2024. Nana, a UK-born Ghanaian legal professional, filmmaker, and community engagement specialist based in Australia was back in Ghana for a family celebration of his own. As we chatted along the route, he mentioned his work centering social impact in Australia and my curiosity was peaked. What you'll learn in this conversation spans how he began his career as a legal advocate for asylum seekers and refugees with the UK's largest not-for-profit immigration law firm to community and stakeholder engagement, building bridges between public sector organisations and marginalised communities in Australia. Alongside his human rights work, he pursued his passion for filmmaking, training at the New York Film Academy and going on to make his first feature film, Drawn. Let's travel with Nana, to get to know more about his land down under and other stops across the globe. Where to find Nana? On IMDB On Instagram What's Nana listening to? Whitney Houston, Al Green, The Jacksons, to name a few.

From $7-an-hour immigrant poverty to street gambling losses to the brutal truth about Bitcoin as the greatest wealth transfer in human history - and why day trading is a scam that tries to create a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant, the MTN stock that went from 1.70 to explosive growth proving 18-19% portfolio gains are real when you commit to long-term investing, the Apple stock lesson that shows trading back and forth for 50% wins and 50% losses is foolish compared to buying and holding from 2008 iPhone launch to today for 1000%+ returns, and why land is locally powerful within Ghana's borders but Bitcoin is globally powerful with the same price in Accra, Turkey, Europe, US, and Australia - making it the first property an individual can hold and access anywhere on earth with just Wi-Fi or a data plan, while the real revelation is that the super rich have most of their wealth trapped in properties and stocks so God devised a way to slowly funnel a portion of that money into something else to distribute the wealth and that vehicle is Bitcoin, and the question for every Ghanaian becomes: do you need to see electricity to benefit from it every day, do you need to see Facebook and Instagram to use the multi-trillion dollar platforms, or can you educate yourself about digital assets and get exposure to the wealth transfer happening right now before it's too late. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans - the investing tutor - who dismantles the dangerous "I can't see it so I won't invest in it" mentality keeping Africans locked out of the greatest wealth transfer in human history, revealing the exact moment when his family immigrated to America and went from upper middle class in Ghana to bottom 10% in New York, when he was working at a children's clothing store in the Bronx earning $7 an hour carrying racks of clothes from upstairs to the sales floor, when one Friday he was paid $250 for the week's work and walked outside to see a group of boys playing the three-cup shell game shuffling cups over a ball, when he stood there for 10-15 minutes watching and every single cup he thought had the ball was correct when someone else played, when he pulled out $100 and pointed to the right cup but when they picked it up the ball wasn't there, when he said "that was a mistake, maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention" and took out the other $100 from his week's pay, when this time they shuffled slow and he saw the ball with his own eyes going to the left cup. When Bitcoin became the answer because the price of Bitcoin in Ghana is the same as the price in Turkey, Europe, US, and Australia making it the first property an individual can hold and access anywhere on earth so far as there's an internet connection, when the greatest wealth transfer explanation made it clear that the super rich have most of their money trapped in properties and stocks so God devised a way to slowly funnel a portion of that wealth into something else to distribute it and that vehicle is Bitcoin, and when the final message became simple: people don't see electricity but benefit from it every day, people don't see Facebook and Instagram but use the multi-trillion dollar platforms daily, so you don't need to see something to benefit from it - you just need to educate yourself and get exposure to digital assets before the wealth transfer passes you by. This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram financial gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why the $7-an-hour immigrant who lost $200 in a street gambling scam learned that day trading is trying to create a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant, why Bitcoin is globally powerful because the price is identical in Accra, Turkey, Europe, US, and Australia making it the first property you can hold and access anywhere on earth with just Wi-Fi, why the super rich have most of their wealth trapped in properties and stocks so Bitcoin is God's way of slowly funneling a portion of that money into something else to distribute the wealth, why people don't see electricity but benefit from it every day and don't see Facebook or Instagram but use the multi-trillion dollar platforms daily proving you don't need to see something to benefit from it, why educating yourself before getting exposure to digital assets is critical because this is the greatest wealth transfer in human history, why discipline beats motivation when building wealth, and why success is not what you attract but who you become - making the journey of financial education and exposure to stocks, real estate, cash cows, and Bitcoin the only path to generational wealth for Ghanaians and Africans ready to stop watching from the sidelines and start participating in the systems the rich use to build fortunes. Guest: Dr. Hans (The Investing Tutor) Host: Derrick Abaitey

From village poverty to German scholarship to the brutal truth about wealth mindset - and why most Ghanaians don't believe they deserve to be wealthy, the parable of the talents that exposes fear-based decision making where the servant hid his one talent instead of investing it because "I was afraid," the $100 plot of land in Accra that's now worth $250,000 USD proving early adopters of scarce assets win generational wealth, and why your money sitting in a bank account loses purchasing power every single year as gallon of gas goes from $2 to $2.20 and movie tickets get more expensive and food costs more - meaning that 2,000 cedis you saved last year can't buy what it used to buy this year, while the real question becomes: do you have the mindset of "I deserve to be wealthy" and if you do then what are you going to do to make sure you are able to build wealth, because without financial resources how many people can you actually help, and the only way to help Ghana is to educate Ghanaians all over the world so they are able to build wealth by tapping into the financial systems that the rich and wealthy are tapping into which we are not exposed to. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans - the investing tutor - who dismantles the dangerous "I don't deserve wealth" mentality keeping Ghanaians locked out of the financial systems the rich use to build generational fortunes, revealing the exact moment when his father sat him down and said "boy, if I had known that land would be so valuable right now, boy I would have bought so many plots of land" because at that time land was about $100 for one plot in many places in Accra and today the average plot is about $250,000 USD, when that statement became the driving force behind the mission: I never ever want to say to my son or daughter if I had bought this asset or that asset I would have been very very wealthy, when his dad grew up in a village and was one of the top two students so he got a scholarship to study in Germany, when the host family that took him in had a gentleman named Hans so he named his son after that gentleman, when his mom revealed that even though his dad was entrepreneurial he was afraid to take that leap - afraid of the "what if" that stops so many people from investing, when the parable of the talents made it clear that the Master gave five talents to one servant, three to another, and one to the last - and the one who had five immediately went off and invested it and earned five more, when the servant who had one went and hid the talent because "I was afraid" and didn't want to lose it, when the Master said "if you didn't know why didn't you take my money to someone more qualified, why didn't you take it to the bankers to invest the money so that at least I could have earned something on top of it," when the realization hit that most individuals don't even have the mindset of "I deserve to be wealthy" and if you don't believe that are you doing good for this world by having that mentality, when the question became: how many people can you help without financial resources, when the mission crystallized as "this is how I'm going to help Ghana . This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram financial gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why most Ghanaians don't believe they deserve to be wealthy and that mentality stops them from helping anyone because you can't help Ghana without financial resources, why the parable of the talents exposes that fear causes people to hide their money instead of investing it and the Master's response was clear: if you didn't know why didn't you seek guidance from someone qualified, why land in Accra went from $100 per plot to $250,000 USD proving early adopters of scarce assets win generational wealth, why land appreciates because countries print more money creating more cash chasing fixed supply like East Legon where you can't increase the size, why your money in a bank account loses purchasing power every single year as prices increase for gas, food, movies, and everything else, why the wealth plan is simple: grandfathers say gold, parents say land, American titans say stocks - all scarce assets that grow over time, why owning stock means getting a percentage stake in a company so your money grows as that company serves more customers without you doing anything, and why the mission is to educate Ghanaians all over the world to tap into the financial systems the rich use - because believing you deserve wealth and taking action to build it is the only way to help your community, your family, and your country.

Artificial Intelligence is entering the radio studio — but what does that mean for trust, authenticity, and the future of broadcasting? With synthetic voices becoming harder to distinguish from real presenters, many listeners are asking how they can trust what they hear. Adwoa Tenkoramaa Domena speaks with DW's Editorial AI Manager Jasper Steinlein in Berlin and DW reporter Eric Mawuena in Accra.

“Eyes Without a Face” is a game-changer. Industry Season 4, Episode 5 takes us from the sterile suites of SternTao to the dusty warehouses of Ghana, where Sweetpea (Miriam Petche) and Kwabena (Toheeb Jimoh) go deep into Tender's shady expansion claims—and uncover what may be the fintech's fatal flaw. Meanwhile, Harper (Myha'la) and Eric (Ken Leung) spiral in their own toxic dance of ambition, grief, and dysfunction.This episode has it all: corporate fraud, physical violence, a potentially explosive whistleblower, and the long-awaited emotional payoff between Industry's most iconic duo. Brandon & Chanel are here to break it all down—from the brutal truths of capitalism to the bloodied bathroom floors of Accra.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! My guest this week is building the financial infrastructure that Africa deserves. As Chief Operating Officer of KoinKoin and CEO + Country Manager of KoinKoin Ghana Ltd, a leading African digital asset exchange, Mimi Kufuor is creating digital assets solutions that work for real people. She comes to this work after spending 15 years navigating the most complex corners of institutional finance - from regulatory programmes at Bank of America and Barclays to compliance frameworks at Meta, working alongside the European Central Bank and managing initiatives worth £10m+. In that span, she learned how money actually moves, how regulators operate, and how to build systems that can scale with integrity. She continues working with companies navigating African markets, building compliant exchange operations, or trying to understand how digital assets can solve actual problems. Recognized as one of Africa's “Top Fintech Voices,” she has shaped policy discourse at UK Parliamentary Summits, Financial Times Live events, and African Fintech Summits. Mimi champions financial inclusion, women's leadership in fintech, and regulatory frameworks that position Africa as a pioneer in the global digital economy, building infrastructure that empowers individuals and businesses to access decentralized finance. As another certified Glocal Citizen, Mimi and I first connected as housemates in Morocco courtesy of mutual friend that you'll hear about in our conversation Afua Dabanka, the inspired experience curator behind A Beautiful Life Travel. Last year on our trip to Kenya, I got to know about her work with KoinKoin and it is a pleasure to be able to share her progress a year later. #Listenandlearn more! Where to find Mimi?

Adulé par beaucoup, conspué par certains, le premier Premier ministre de la République du Congo Patrice Lumumba est devenu une référence internationale. La Revue d'Histoire Contemporaine de l'Afrique a consacré son 5ème numéro à Patrice Emery Lumumba afin de comprendre les mécanismes de construction d'une figure politique africaine mondialement connue, notamment en raison de son assassinat, commémoré de Paris à Kinshasa en passant par Pékin ou Accra. (Rediffusion) « Lumumba est un phénomène », écrivent nos deux invitées historiennes Élisabeth Dikizeko et Karine Ramondy, un phénomène global, imprimé dans les mémoires politiques, populaires et culturelles, transmises à ses héritiers, lumumbistes, artistes et militants, dans le monde entier. Les enfants de Patrice Lumumba, dont son fils cadet Roland disparu le 28 janvier 2026, très actif dans les démarches judiciaires visant à faire la lumière sur l'assassinat de son père en 1961, attendent le verdict du procès qui s'est ouvert à Bruxelles. Après des années d'enquête, le parquet fédéral a requis l'ouverture d'un procès pour « détention ou transfert illicite d'un prisonnier de guerre », « privation du droit à un procès équitable » et « traitements inhumains et dégradants. » En Belgique, un seul homme peut encore répondre d'une éventuelle responsabilité pénale, il s'agit de l'homme d'affaires et ancien diplomate Étienne Davignon, 93 ans.

Après quatre ans d'arrêt, la seule raffinerie de pétrole publique du Ghana a finalement recommencé ses activités en décembre 2025. Une annonce précédée plus tôt dans l'année par des promesses d'investissements chiffrées à plus de trois milliards de dollars dans l'exploration et le forage. Au cœur de la stratégie de l'administration de John Dramani Mahama : la reconstruction de la confiance avec les géants du secteur, après des années de déclin. De notre notre correspondant à Accra, Un rendement en mesure de couvrir 40% des besoins en carburant du Ghana : voici ce que devrait permettre de produire la raffinerie de pétrole de Tema, selon les estimations de Kodzo Yaotse, responsable pétrole et énergie conventionnelle à l'Africa Centre for Energy Policy. De quoi soulager les finances du pays – le carburant représentant le premier poste d'importation du Ghana –, mais pas seulement. « C'est une très bonne nouvelle pour sa contribution à la sécurité énergétique du pays, spécifiquement en réduisant la dépendance énergétique en importation de produits raffinés. Mais également dans la constitution de réserves stratégiques de carburants essentiels à un niveau national », explique Kodzo Yaotse. D'une production de 28 000 barils raffinés par jour, la raffinerie de Tema espère presque doubler sa production dans un futur proche. Encore faut-il, selon Kodzo Yaotse, que la seule raffinerie administrée par l'État ghanéen ne retombe pas dans les travers qui ont conduit à sa fermeture, quatre ans plus tôt : « Accumulation de dettes chroniques, exposition à la volatilité des prix du pétrole brut, manque de devises étrangères ou encore mauvaise gestion généralisée au sein de l'entreprise... Depuis la reprise en main par le nouveau gouvernement, nous n'avons pas vu de stratégie accessible au public qui montre que ces problèmes ont été résolus de manière durable. » À lire aussiPétrole: au Ghana «l'objectif, c'est de produire jusqu'à la dernière goutte» « La rhétorique doit être suivi d'actes » En plus de l'arrêt de la raffinerie de Tema, le Ghana a par ailleurs connu, ces huit dernières années, une absence d'investissements majeurs dans l'exploration et le forage de pétrole brut. Des erreurs stratégiques auraient été commises par la précédente administration. « Ce qu'ils essayaient de faire, c'était d'optimiser les gisements en déclin, beaucoup moins de mener de nouvelles explorations. Donc d'exploiter la ressource jusqu'à la dernière goutte plutôt que de la faire grandir », avance Bright Simons, analyste au think tank ghanéen Imani. Résultat : la production de pétrole brut n'a fait que décliner depuis cinq ans, passant de 71 millions de barils environ en 2019 à seulement 48 millions en 2024. Une trajectoire que le président actuel du Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, entend bien changer. En septembre 2025, le gouvernement ghanéen a par exemple annoncé la signature d'un mémorandum d'intention de 1,5 milliard de dollars avec la major italienne ENI. Mais, d'après Bright Simons, le chemin est encore long avant de pouvoir en tirer réellement profit : « La rhétorique doit être suivie d'actes. Aujourd'hui, il y a un manque de coordination au niveau gouvernemental qui doit être adressé afin de pouvoir provoquer de réelles débouchées commerciales, et ainsi attirer encore plus d'investissements. » À lire aussiLe Ghana annonce le redémarrage de la raffinerie publique de pétrole de Tema

American YouTube streamer IShowSpeed has recently been making major waves on social media during his Africa tour.

Eddy Micah Jr. speaks to Ameyaw Debrah, an entertainment and lifestyle blogger and social media influencer and Olisa Chukwumah, DW's correspondent in Accra, Ghana.

This week the US commemorates the MLK Day holiday - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. He would have been 97. The third Monday of January has stood as the official holiday for 40 years, and no matter what the current US administration attempts at erasure, the Black American Diaspora will never forget. I remember growing up, before 1986 when the day became an official holiday, the majority of my Black classmates did not attend school on January 15th. This is the activism that the Civil Rights Movement inspired for two generations, and activism + grassroots organizing are prime topics in this two-part conversation with long-time comrade, fellow Brooklynite, poet, performer, jazz/soul vocalist, musician, producer, designer, and community strategist, Tai Allen. A native New Yorker by way of Panama, Jamaica, and Virginia, Tai's life story is filled with a history of progressive stands. From his mother's family being among those that contributed to the suit that integrated schools across the United States—Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka to his father's influential network of academics and thought leaders, his craft was in the making for his entire upbringing—without him necessarily knowing it. #Listenandlearn more!

Gränsupplösandet blir både globalt och lokalt när Amaarae med en söt, seriefigursaktig heliumröst seglar ut på sin jordenruntresa bortom ragerap och afrobeats, och visar hur musik kan skifta perspektiv och bryta ner stereotyper. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Erfarenheterna gör Amaarae (aktuell med albumet ”Black star”) klippt och skuren för den globala populärmusiken på 20-talet. Hon växte upp i Accra, Ghana där alternativa scener utvecklades. Sångerskan bodde i London då korsbefruktningarna pågick för fullt medan hon fann sig själv, och var i Georgia när trap förgrenades. Resultatet blev ett experimentellt öra och en orädd, punkig R&Battityd. Sättet som Amaarae leker med ett Clipsebeat i ”Counterfeit” demonstrerar hennes beundran för Virginiaduon som Mats Nileskär också möter. Clipse stod för förra årets återkomst genom ”Let God sort em out”. Trots att bröderna inte hade kört tillsammans på ett och ett halvt decennium var kemin intakt. Dessutom lyckades producent Pharrell Williams modernisera klassisk Clipse. Du får Pusha T och Malice resa från banbrytande drograp till framträdande i Vatikanen. I avsnittet även träff med mannen som ger new age afrobeat ett ansikte - Obongjayar.

The Youth & Packaging in Accra - Stay by Plan, Fanfooling & Settings

Lead convener of pressure group Arise Ghana, Bernard Mornah, has announced that the group is prepared to sustain its protest at the United States Embassy in Accra for an extended period if former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta does not return to Ghana

From December romance to January reality: Why falling in love with Ghana during party season sets diasporans up for failure - and the brutal truth about year-long rent payments, bad roads destroying your car, the "please please please" culture shock, and the Homeland Return Act that never passed while people extend their stay through December magic then face the wake-up call that Ghana isn't cheap, easy, or waiting with structures to catch you when the music stops. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Ivy Prosper - former social media manager for Ghana's Year of Return secretariat and diaspora relocation expert - who dismantles the dangerous December-in-Ghana fantasy keeping diasporans shocked when they extend their stay based on party vibes and ancestral feelings, only to discover that January brings reality checks about money, rent, potholes, and cultural differences they never prepared for. This isn't motivational pan-African talk from Instagram activists - it's a systematic breakdown of why people come in December, fall in love with the socializing and parties, extend their stay thinking it's like this all year long, then realize after the first week of January that December intensity doesn't last and the question "how are you gonna make your money?" hits hard, why the government tried to pass a Homeland Return Act to help diaspora with residency and transitions but it never passed and now it's starting over again with a new administration, why Ghana isn't cheap like people think - it's quite expensive for a developing country, and the biggest headache is discovering landlords demand a whole year, two years, even three years rent up front when the law says only six months but nobody enforces it. Critical revelations include: Why December in Ghana creates false expectations: people fall in love with the party season, extend their stay thinking it's like this all year, but once January hits and it quiets down, the reality of making money in Ghana sets in The Homeland Return Act failure: submitted to parliament to help diaspora with residency status and transitions, but it never passed before the last government left - now it's like starting over again Why Ghana isn't cheap like people think: the misconception that Africa will be easy and inexpensive gets shattered when people realize Ghana is quite expensive for a developing country The rent payment shock: in Canada and the US you pay two months up front (first and last rent) plus a small security deposit - in Ghana landlords demand a whole year, two years, even three years up front, and it's not even legal The rent act that nobody enforces: there's a law from the 80s that says rent should only be six months up front maximum, but every day people break the law asking for a year or more and nobody enforces it The $30,000 savings trap: you think you can move to Ghana and start your life with $30,000 in savings, but almost all that money goes to rent because of the upfront payment requirements Why diasporans won't live in chamber and hall: the average person from the West or Europe wants to live comfortably like their life before - they want La Boni, East Legon, Cantonments, Ridge apartments, not 600 cedis a month small places The Cape Coast relocation strategy: when Accra gets too expensive, some diasporans move to Cape Coast or Elmina because it's more affordable - especially if they have a business they can do anywhere Who actually moves to stay versus who goes back: people escaping systemic racism who want to stop being "the black person" and just be "a person" are the ones who stay - people who came off December emotion are most likely to go back Why people go back: they didn't plan well, didn't understand the environment, or realized they just want life to be simple with the structures they're used to - they trade being suppressed for convenience The business registration frustration: in Canada you register online, pay online, get your certificate in minutes - in Ghana you go to the office physically, fill forms, go from room to room, sit and wait, come back another day to collect papers in another queue The bad roads car maintenance trap: beautiful houses in nice neighborhoods with terrible roads getting there - people destroy their cars every time they go home, maintenance is expensive, and potholes make you feel like you need a massage after every journey The culture shock nobody prepares for: a Jamaican guy in 2019 said he was tired of Ghanaians saying "please" all the time - please yes, please no, please this, please that - it's a direct translation from Twi ("mepaakyɛw") but it sounds overused and annoying to foreigners Guest: Ivy Prosper - Former Social Media Manager, Year of Return Secretariat (Ghana Tourism Authority) Host: Derrick Abaitey

This week the US commemorates the MLK Day holiday - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. He would have been 97. The third Monday of January has stood as the official holiday for 40 years, and no matter what the current US administration attempts at erasure, the Black American Diaspora will never forget. I remember growing up, before 1986 when the day became an official holiday, the majority of my Black classmates did not attend school on January 15th. This is the activism that the Civil Rights Movement inspired for two generations, and activism + grassroots organizing are prime topics in this two-part conversation with long-time comrade, fellow Brooklynite, poet, performer, jazz/soul vocalist, musician, producer, designer, and community strategist, Tai Allen. A native New Yorker by way of Panama, Jamaica, and Virginia, Tai's life story is filled with a history of progressive stands. From his mother's family being among those that contributed to the suit that integrated schools across the United States—Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka to his father's influential network of academics and thought leaders, his craft was in the making for his entire upbringing—without him necessarily knowing it. #Listenandlearn more!

To track or not to track? Now that technology on our phones makes it so easy, many parents are tracking their children's whereabouts. If children don't have a smart phone, many people use a GPS tracker device do to the same thing. There are even children's trainers available with a special slot to insert the device. But have we thought about the reasons why? What are the benefits or dangers of tracking children, and if you do track, at what point do you stop? Anita Rani is joined by Clare Fernyhough and Esther Walker.Some fat dissolving agents and skin rejuvenation treatments being injected into women currently have the ‘same regulatory classification as ball-point pens'. That's according to evidence heard by the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee as part of a new inquiry into the potential harms of hair and beauty products and treatments. Thousands of women could be potentially experiencing harm from these products and going undocumented. Ashton Collins, co-founder of Save Face, the register for safe medical aesthetic practitioners, and Victoria Brownlie, chief policy and sustainability officer at The British Beauty Council join Anita.The latest series of The Traitors has sparked controversy after two black women, Netty and Judy, were the first to leave – one ‘murdered' by the Traitors and the other banished at the roundtable. The debate goes beyond the game- is it exposing unconscious bias and raising bigger questions? Do reality TV shows like this hold up a mirror to society, revealing uncomfortable truths around racism, misogyny, and ageism? Author and arts columnist at the Independent Micha Frazer-Carroll and freelance writer Chloe Laws, who have both written on this topic and are both fans of the show, discuss.A group of religious leaders and a Member of Parliament in The Gambia have tabled a bill seeking to overturn the country's ban on female genital mutilation or FGM. The matter is now before the country's Supreme Court and is due to resume later this month. The case follows reports that two baby girls bled to death after undergoing FGM in the country last year. Rights groups have condemned the move, describing it as a violation. One of those groups is the African Women's Rights Advocates - we hear from Mam Lisa Camara from the group, along with BBC Correspondent for West Africa Thomas Naadi, based in Accra. And we nod to Claudette Colvin, who helped end racial segregation in the US by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person in Alabama. She has died at the age of 86. Her protest and subsequent arrest was largely unknown until the details were included in a book in 2009. Far more well known is an event that happened nine months later when Rosa Parks famously defied the bus laws. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome back this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, Nikki and Tommie Jones. Nikki and Tommie are the owners of Jones Getaways by Dream Vacations. Travel agency. They are instrumental in my travel life in a couple ways. They introduced me to Dream Vacations and as many of you know we are the somewhat new owners of our own travel agency, The Joy of Vacation by Dream Vacations. I have watched them grow and have emulated them and consider them travel agent mentors. The other way they have been influential in our travel life relates to the first time I hosted them on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, August 2024, to talk about Jones Getaways, Soulful Epicurean French River Cruise on AmaKristina, Episode 123. As many of you know we subsequently went on that same cruise, and coupled with our land excursion to Paris, we selected it as our #1 all-time cruise in our recent podcast, Paul & Cheryl's All-Time Top Ten Cruises, Episode 203. In 2025, Nikki and Tommie fulfilled what is #1 on my bucket list—a trip to Africa, specifically Ghana. On their YouTube channel, Jones Getaways, they chronicled the trip, in a 4-part series, Our Ghana Journey—From Accra to Ancestry. If you are a lifelong learner like me, I urge you to check it out. And if Africa is in your future—and I am booked— Our Ghana Journey—From Accra to Ancestry is a must. In the meantime, we want to hear all about the trip.Do you have a dream car?

“Trailblazers with Garry" is a series from Global Health Matters, where host Garry Aslanyan sits down with trailblazers — thinkers, leaders, and influencers shaping the future of global health — for short face-to-face conversations, available in both audio and video formats. It's a chance to get to know the people behind the work and hear their perspectives on the current global health landscape. For this episode, Garry visited Professor John Gyapong at the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) in Accra, Ghana. Since taking up the role of Secretary General of ARUA in 2024, John has been passionately leading efforts to strengthen Pan-African research collaborations. Early in his career, and at a time when global attention was fixed on malaria, John chose instead to focus on neglected tropical diseases. Today, as a leader and educator, he remains deeply committed to Africans developing solutions for Africa and nurturing the next generation of research scientists. Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.  Follow us for updates:@TDRnews on XTDR on LinkedIn@ghm_podcast on Instagram@ghm-podcast.bsky.social on Bluesky Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.  All content © 2026 Global Health Matters.
