ABOUT JAMES MERCER
James is a Ghanaian born in the UK (South London to be exact), where he lived all my life apart from five years. Four years in Keele University with Adrian and one in Ghana. He went to school in Cape Coast in a school named Mfantsipim which boasts an alumni of Kofi Annan, Kofi Busia, Arthur Wharton, William Ofori-Atta, Tsatsu Tsikata, J.E Casely-Hayford, Majid Michel and Obour!
He is enthused by politics (UK and Ghanaian), business and development in Ghana and a huge interest in helping other Ghanaians make the move back home. He is the founder of a group called the Ghana Collective that aims to help with this.
