My father came to the U.S. from Kumasi, Ghana in 1968β€”on a student visa. He didn’t just build a life. He built a foundation. His story shaped mine. A Father’s Day reflection on immigration, legacy, and what’s at stake when we stop welcoming global talent. 🧡

πŸ“ˆ 46% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. πŸ¦„ 80% of billion-dollar startups too. That kind of impact often starts not with wealth or statusβ€”but with a student visa. We forget that at our own risk.

This Father’s Day, I wrote about my dad, the ripple effect of immigration, and what we lose when we close the door on global talent. If that resonates, I hope you’ll read it. πŸ“¨ Full reflection on Substack: enodi.substack.com/p/harvard…
