PURPOSE: A Memoir of Fearless Journalism, Diplomacy and Growth
What happens when a young man with little more than courage, conviction, and a microphone finds himself at the crossroads of journalism, diplomacy, power and history?
PURPOSE is the extraordinary journey of Ghanaian journalist and diplomat Jefferson Sackey—from humble beginnings in Ghana to the frontlines of some of Africa’s most defining political stories. With a journalist’s instinct for truth and an unshakable appetite for adventure, Sackey takes readers behind the headlines and into rooms where history was being made. From the newsroom to war-torn Liberia and Sierra Leone, from encounters with rebel leaders and African presidents to the corridors of the United Nations, his career brought him face-to-face with personalities and events that shaped a continent.
At the heart of the memoir is his remarkable experience serving within Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and working closely with Nana Akufo-Addo, then Ghana’s Foreign Minister. He reveals the lessons he learned about diplomacy, leadership and national interest while offering intimate glimpses into the personalities and principles that have influenced Ghana’s place in the world.
PURPOSE is both a personal testimony and a front-row account of Africa in transition. It is a story about growth. About discovering who you are while navigating places you never imagined you would reach. PURPOSE is the story of a journalist who refused to remain a spectator to history—and a man who learned, one extraordinary encounter at a time, that every experience has a purpose.
An eyewitness account of journalism, conflict reporting, diplomacy, public service and personal growth – from difficult beginnings in Accra to frontline reporting in Liberia and Sierra Leone, and later to the corridors of Ghanaian diplomacy.₵300.00 -
Nik Amarteifio: A Life of Curating Business Ideas
Over the past nearly 50 years that we’ve known each other, I have always admired the humility of my dear friend and brother Nik and how he maintains a low and unassuming profile in spite of the influential advisory power he commands as a big mover and shaper of the economic livelihood of thousands of people through the major companies he has curated and owns in multiple industries notably: mining, pharmaceuticals, media, food and more recently, venture capital.—- H.E.

Women’s Leadership in Post-Conflict Liberia: My Journey (Hardcover)
The realities of trying to institutionalize reform in Liberia after 14 years of civil war comes alive in this book, particularly given the capacity constraints the author had to work with – what she describes as the “no money syndrome” coupled with the human and institutional capacity challenges she faced after a prolonged absence of almost 25 years working and living in the Diaspora.
This book is a must-read for all women (and men) who need guidance and mentoring on the challenges, consequences and sacrifices required to stand up for one’s convictions.
