On our 7th episode we welcome the founder of Surf Ghana - Sandy Alibo. Surf Ghana is an incredible collective that uses the practice of extreme sports as a driver for diversity in education, social inclusion, and the empowerment of the youth. Sandy's been able to start this organization after identifying an opportunity within Ghana that she felt needed real attention and exposure. Through the work of her collective, she’s been able to galvanize creatives in Ghana around Skateboarding and Surfing. About 5 years in, they’ve accomplished skate tours throughout Ghana, occupy a Skate House where the collective has been able to gather & tourists have been able to visit, and are building the Freedom Skatepark in Accra with partners Daily Paper, Virgil Abloh, and others. The skatepark is 1350 square feet and also functions as a workspace and social hub to the creative youth in Ghana. Most importantly though, through the collective they've been able to cultivate a real community that lifts it's members up mentally, physically and financially and is pushing the future of Ghana forward.
