ALBERT MENSAH

Albert Mensah’s own life has provided him the deep insight and wealth of experience he shares with his listeners. A child of one of the world’s most impoverished nations, Ghana, West Africa, Albert grew up within a village of 200 residents without electricity, plumbing or shoes, Mensah was inspired to immigrate to the United States after seeing his first movie. The movie was made in America and full of American privileges, including cars for every driver and shoes for every foot. He saw an opportunity to live a better life if he moved to the United States. Albert found his way to this country through his scholastic ability and a vision he held since childhood-to someday come to America.

Distinguishing himself in sales and market penetration upon graduation from Western Maryland College, Albert went on to become a successful business owner. Recognizing that his life story could provide inspiration for others to achieve their goals and face challenges, he began to focus on his current path as a widely sought after and internationally recognized speaker, author and humanitarian.

The Author of two best selling self-help books, When The Drumbeat Changes Dance a Different Dance, and OK means Opportunity Knocking, Albert lives in Dallas with his family and visits Ghana annually, where he supports an orphanage and clothes residents in his home village. He speaks of his journey from Ghana, his first years in the United States and how he has arrived where he is today. You will love his humor and enthusiasm for life.
