POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A special night at the 2025 FOCOS Gala ✨ This year holds extra meaning as they honored the enduring legacy of its founder and my mentor, Nana Prof. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei Woahene II. His vision continues to guide this mission and inspire us all. Grateful to be part of a cause built on compassion, purpose, and lasting impact. #focosgala2025 #gratitude #compassion #globalhealth #scoliosis #visioninaction

Recently, I had a humbling experience of receiving the “Healer of Change” award from Back to Healing. My journey began in 2017, meeting @stylemarcusjohn , whose genuine nature and steadfast vision inspired me from the start.

BTH’s impact, reaching over 6.9 million since 2016, highlights the resilience of those with scoliosis. Central to their mission are the Scoli Warriors, whose stories drive their commitment to mental health and education, crucial in addressing scoliosis’s psychological impacts.

Thank you, Back to Healing, for simply allowing me to be a part of this important journey, one that leads us towards a more understanding and inclusive world.

We are so honored to have been a part of the amazing #IAmStraightForward photo exhibit. A huge thank you to all the participants and especially to @straightforwardfoundation CEO and founder @stylemarcusjohn for his vision of this project. Purcell Dugger says it best in the @huffpost blog, “...one can respect the efforts of the fashion industry professionals looking to make a difference in Society.” 💚
