January 2019 – October 2020 Tamale, Ghana
How did I spend my time during the covid epidemic while the world was seemingly on fire and also figuring out what exactly was going on? My key memories during covid were:
- Being surrounded by a strong community of friends in Tamale while social distancing
- Having a job offer in February 2020 and then very quickly I didn’t because the project was affected by international travel restrictions and Ghana’s borders closed over one weekend in March
- Thankfully no lockdowns in Tamale, but I didn’t actually leave Tamale for the entire year which wasn’t incredibly difficult but just strange to think about
- Continuing to work in person and remotely with Hopin Academy – an entrepreneurship incubator while they adjusted their incubator cohorts to the new social distancing guidelines once international borders were closed
