Earlier, I have posted about people in motion, people who want something and who are in themselves an inspiration to others. For the Swedish speaking crowd, I proudly recommend the radio program with my friend Emilie Persson. She is a truly inspiring person and uses her "hour of fame" on Swedish local radio to discuss political engagement and explore how she went from being a tired student who saw herself as a make-up artist, to someone who is an expert on fair trade, CSR and organic agricultural production and uses her knowledge to lead and engage people. She also talks about her trip to Ghana and says her three months here were exclusively positive. "If you don't think you don't dare to go to Africa, take a chance! Ghana is a fantastic, wonderful country!"
For the English speakers, Emilie plays some good music like Ghanaian hip-life (Ofori Amponsah), South African reggae (Lucky Dube) and American hip-hop (Erykah Badu).
In the picture, Emilie is smelling the flowers in Aburi Gardens in Ghana on a visit last year.

Totally inspiring. The kind of person who can single handedly change their generation. Wish I could listen to her and hear for myself.
I wish you could too. Sometimes the language barrier really sucks. Stay cool.
