Sidney Kwaku's Story
Life
So where do I begin? I live in Lanham, Maryland. I have been in this area since I graduated from Ottawa University. I started grad school at Howard University in 1971 and finished in 1984 with my doctorate in African Studies. I have been teaching on the collegiate level for over 33 years and I was the Chair of the Department of English and Modern Languages at Bowie State University for two years. I also am a martial arts instructor, having achieved a black belt in two different styles, Kung fu (Chinese) and Kupigana ngumi (African fighting art).
My children are doing well. My son, Kwaku, is the oldest. He has two daughters and our first grandson, Kwaku III. He is now a train operator for Metro. My daughter Yaa, has graduated from Harvard Business School after having graduated summa cum laude from Spelman College and Georgia Tech with degrees in Physics and Engineering. She is now working for the emarketing for the company that makes Pyrex with a nice, high-paying job! She was married to Quincy Stanley on May 28, 2006 and has a son, Jaden, who is one of the best middle distance runners in the country in his age group. My youngest daughter, Akua, has graduated from Bowie State University in Psychology/Guidance and Counseling in 2006 with her Master...Expand for more
's degree after graduating from Clark-Atlanta cum laude. She just bought her first house and is teaching at a charter school in DC.
I travel to Africa frequently. Some for pleasure and some for business and humanitarian reasons. If you can help, let me know. I need educational supplies and medical supplies. Money would be nice also to help some children (particularly girls) to go to school. It costs $50 per year. I have sent as many as 10 children in a year. Please help. Contact me by email if you want to make a contribution. All proceeds go toward the mission that I do. I finance my own trips to Africa.
I still drive fast. My weapons of choice are a modified 1999 BMW 535is and a very, very quick 400whp Subaru WRX STi. I will include pictures of my cars soon.
It would be nice to see everyone before we get too old to enjoy it. I recently had the greatest surprise when I received a message from Renee Ryan from Southeast High School! What a surprise! We have been catching up on each other's lives since we last talked over 46 years ago, so that's a lot of catching up. It has been great and continues to be so.
