Ghana is a country with a rich history of strong matrilineal lines and the empowerment of women. During a recent visit to the capital city, Accra, I had the opportunity to meet several incredible individuals who are making significant contributions in their respective fields.
One such individual is Virgil Abloh, who was involved in the development of Ghana's first skatepark, Freedom Skatepark. This skatepark is home to the Skate Gal Club, a group that connects and empowers girls and women in Ghana through the sport of skateboarding. Abloh's involvement highlights the growing trend of female-driven industries in Ghana.
