As we close @TheRISAFund #Ghana chapter, reflections from @mestighofficial @MoCDTI & @UKinGhana converge on a shared lesson: sustainable impact in research & innovation comes from long‑term capacity building, policy learning & collective stewardship beyond funding cycles. 🇬🇭🎥

At the Harvard Health Conference, someone walked up to me after my panel session and said 𝐇𝐢, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢. 𝐈’𝐦 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐝. “I’ve heard so much about you.” In my head, I was thinking: Wait. The same Francisca from Ketasco? We all shouted for you during the National Science and Maths Quiz Competition (NSMQ) We had a great conversation about her passion and future career strategy. Sometimes the people you once cheered for from a distance end up standing right in front of you, doing even greater things. —— It was inspiring to connect with the African community at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Nice. Dzolali forever 🦅

Most people are surprised when they hear I went from professional football to green chemistry. But to me, it was a natural transition. ⚽️👨🏽‍🔬 Growing up in the south of France, I was surrounded by nature and the sea from an early age. As my football career progressed, so did my awareness of global warming and the impact that different industries have on the environment and on our health. The products most of us use every day, from shampoos to cleaning products to paints, are still built on fossil-based ingredients. Changing that became my mission.🌱 In 2013, I co-founded GFBiochemicals to make everyday products safer and more sustainable using plant-based ingredients. Football prepared me for this journey more than I expected the discipline, the resilience, and what it truly means to be part of a team. But there is an important shift: as a player, you’re judged on your own performance. As a founder & CEO, your role is to lead and inspire your team, and to share success together. I spoke with Harvard Business Review France about my journey: the transition from international footballer to Green Chemistry entrepreneur, the challenge of building in a sector I came to as an outsider.

Dear Microsoft. Our African names are not spelling errors

In the deeps of the Atewa Forest galamsey has taken over destroying forest the forest cover and head waters that give water to over 5 million Ghanaians.

Disturbing: Galamseyers have besieged the Atewa Forest building tents in the middle of the forest and mining unabated.

The Journeyman (the music within) production by AMPLE Leadership and AMPLE Productions is a timely reminder to reconnect with our inner selves, practice (self) care, and forge deeper relationships for a purposeful and fulfilling life.
