The Founder

The combination of his Ghanaian roots and United States upbringing, organically nurtured Nana Yaw Ameyaw-Sakyi’s unique perspective on life. His parents encouraged him to use education and sports as an outlet to express himself and he gained a special appreciation for connecting with people from all different backgrounds and cultures. While Nana Yaw was studying in California for a BSc degree in Business Marketing and MA degree in Sport Management, he was actively working in the global sports industry. With the return of his parents back to Ghana, Nana Yaw began to make frequent trips to visit them and immerse himself in the culture and the people. His interactions with Abibiman, a local football club in the town of Chiraa located in the Bono Region in Ghana, inspired him to found Braha. Over the years, he has been engaged in team operations and worked with athletes in the NFL, NBA and MLS. Currently he works as a project management consultant and has been actively coaching youth football in Southern California and Ghana.
