Jessica Sarkodie

Jessica is a Ghanaian-born narrative strategist and former editorial photographer based in Lisbon. She taught herself photography in Accra on an iPhone 4 and within three years was shooting for The New York Times, The Atlantic, Condé Nast, and The Washington Post. She now works with purpose-led founders and mission-driven teams on positioning, brand narrative, and messaging architecture, having built stories for the Roddenberry Foundation, The Body Shop, and TCHO Chocolate. Cornell-educated and shaped by West Africa, the US, and Europe, she believes a story that doesn't make you feel something in the first second has already lost.
