Obi nnim obrempon ahyease - No one knows the beginning of a great person

This a Ghanaian Akan (Twi) proverb. It all begins in obscurity. Nothing about this child yet announces greatness no crowd, no title, no throne. Greatness does not announce its arrival. It often begins in silence, in overlooked spaces, in children who are simply allowed to be. What we see here is not the height of a life, but its beginning the unseen foundation of someone the world may one day call great.
