As a Frank 5 Fellow of the Aydelotte Foundation , I was asked to host an event that would introduce people to liberal arts. I chose to do so through dinner and conversation with local Ghanaians and those from the Diaspora in the spirit of community and partnership, liberal arts values that I hold dear. This post is a rundown on why my alma mater, Swarthmore, means so much to me and why I decided to host dinner in honor of connecting the continent and the Diaspora for nation building.
