We met at O.R. Tambo International Airport in South Africa on July 13, 2021. I was returning to Ghana from a missions trip with the Teens Aloud Foundation, and he was coming back from his vacation. Sitting at the corner of the boarding gate, I was speaking Twi with my friend on a call. After the call, he said, “I can tell you’re Ghanaian.” We didn’t talk much in South Africa, but during our 8-hour layover in Kenya, we had plenty of time to chat.
