The Spark Behind Disability Lens
In the face of adversity, resilience is born. Growing up in Northern Ghana, Daniel Akibe Amoah's journey was marked by determination and hardship.
A life-altering accident led to the amputation of his left foot, shattering his dreams and self-esteem.
The subsequent discrimination and marginalization he faced ignited a fire within.
A Quest for Empowerment Daniel's experiences fueled a passion for Psychology, seeking to understand humanbehavior, mental processes, and social interactions.
He discovered that his struggles were not unique, but shared by countless individuals with disabilities. This realization sparked a movement.
