Inspired by her activist mother who encouraged her at a young age to improve their neighborhood in New Jersey, Amma O. Asamoah dedicated her career to designing architecture in underserved communities. Earning her Master’s in Sustainable Architecture in Philadelphia and her BA in Architecture and Construction at Tuskegee University in Alabama, today Professor Asamoah teaches architect students at Tuskegee to connect with their roots and design with empathy. As architects, she says it’s our responsibility to shape communities and build meaningful places -- to push further, question, dig deeper, and tell our stories.

As a parent, professor, NOMA advisor, designer, and founder of the Legacy Project in Ghana, Amma has come full circle as a young activist and leader in education and architecture.

Listen in as she weaves her tapestry of ancestry, academia, diversity, and heritage in this episode of TheSquare.
