George Kwame Baah is an inspiration.  A nuclear engineer by day, he is a dedicated shoe designer and social entrepreneur in his free time.

He founded Sunsums, a brand that creates handcrafted footwear and accessories using printed and handloomed Kente cloth, woven in Ghana’s Volta region.

With a strong social mission, Sunsums employs over 40 artisans in Ghana, paying a fair wage that is up to 20 times higher than the national average. Each design is exclusive to the brand, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.

In this episode, George shares his remarkable journey, the values behind Sunsums, and what it takes to merge heritage, innovation, and impact.
