Born into a family of seven children to two semiliterate parents, life was not perpetually smooth, but somewhat cushioned by the perks and safety net of her father's employment in a multinational mining conglomerate. At age 14, her world was thrown into a freefalling spiral arising from the voluntary retrenchment taken by her father, throwing the family of 9 into an unforeseen instability and untold hardships over the next decade. With an unremitting desire for education and a deep faith in God instilled in them by their mother, Asantewaa and her six siblings fought to stay in school, find a suitable place to lay their head at night and food to put on the table. This is the story of Asantewaa's journey from a life of poverty and need in Accra, Ghana all the way to the miracle of a scholarship to pursue a PhD in Canada and her current position at Michigan State University. This is a story of hardship and persistence, of hunger and kindness, of disappointments and triumph, and an unending trust in God. Dr. Christiana Asantewaa OkyereFolson is currently a Hegarty Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Michigan State University and a Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Scholar. She is also a Mandela Washington Fellow, awarded by the US government for her contribution to improving quality of life of vulnerable populations in African contexts. Dr. OkyereFolson is an ardent believer who uses her walk with God and life experiences to counsel and empower people to take courageous steps towards achieving their Godgiven mandate. She cohosts a YouTube channel (The Folsons Tube) with her beloved husband Kweku Gumye Folson that focuses on topics including faith, education/career, and relationships.
