From growing up in Ghana to building yShade, an AI company in the U.S., Emmanuel Acheampong shares a candid look at what it means to navigate bias in tech and entrepreneurship while holding on to your voice. We talk about the tension between cultural humility and the confidence required to lead, how communicating with authority changes the way people receive your ideas, and the reality of being underestimated until you overdeliver.
This is a conversation about resilience, identity, and why in a world increasingly shaped by AI, your voice and how you use it matters more than ever.
