Have a good read ! Code57: There's a lot to be known about a man who preaches fearlessness through Clothing. Do u have any personal experiences with the enemy called FEAR? Kulaperry: First of all, what is fear? Because if I should say... my personal experience with fear is what has made me who I am.

  A part 2 version of Sidney's retrospective journey at the graduate level. Sidney Quartey, 2020 My life’s journey has been quite a bumpy one, this particular one of a higher education and leadership has not been traveled without losses. It hasn’t been without pain and regrets and although now wrapped in meaningfulness, there were the times that it seemed rather blurry and gloomy. When I completed my first degree, I had very high hopes and expectations. Like most of my colleagues, we wore our gowns with so much pride and fulfilment thinking to ourselves that we had finally arrived. The destination that pampers the elite class with luxurious living was almost in view. What could possibly stop us now? In our hands was the degree that we were promised would set us apart and land us our dream jobs without any qualms. Just like we did with our certificates, a good number of us had acquired drivers licenses in anticipation of our first cars. It was rather amusing to learn that, while we ...

A retrospective piece of Sidney Quartey, former UPSA SRC President. Sidney Quartey presenting a citation in honor of Prof. Joshua Alabi(Ex VC, UPSA) I took a few days off  to reflect on my life's  journey through UPSA (University of Professional Studies, Accra) especially my tenure as SRC President... I ended up with this piece and I hope you find it inspiring like I did. Truth be told, no one makes it through life's journey all by himself Made or marred, a man's destiny is intertwined with a lot others such that whatever we become is influenced greatly by those we come across in our  lives This is one truth I have come to believe.  Indeed our destinies are shaped by our encounters. Let me start by mentioning the most important encounter of my life: CHRIST JESUS That's right! My encounter with Christ Jesus is by far one i consider most relevant in my life. When I  met Christ, everything changed. This isn't just a saying as most of our speeches are rather full of...
