Happy 77th birthday to President Akufo-Addo of Ghana πŸ‡¬πŸ‡­. He called me crazy for doing the sport of skeleton πŸ˜… - yet he is so proud seeing a Ghanaian breaking barriers & challenging the status quo. 3 years ago he invited me to his office for my patriotic move at the 2018 Olympics

Thank you, #Sigulda ! πŸ‡±πŸ‡» I'm excited to get to know you better in the near future. We initially planned to avoid racing due to the risk, with only 3 runs from the top of this challenging track, but we decided to take on the challenge. Finished 34th, overcoming fear. #Gratitude πŸ‡¬πŸ‡­

15th fastest push and 35th overall at the World Champs In Saint Mortiz this week. Most important was the progress I made from training to racing and the new track knowledge I have gained that will come handy next time I’m in Saint Moritz. Thank you all. #dreamon #hopeofabillion

Celebrating achievements in Norway πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄ with gratitude. Humbled by progress in my training-to-racing journey. From a 5.61s push & 55.74s downtime in training, I achieved 32nd place out of 37 athletes today. Start time: 4.82s, downtime: 52.95s. Filled with #hope for the future.πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ‡¬πŸ‡­
