Born in Tema, Ghana, Bright Tsagli migrated with his mother to Europe at age six, in pursuit of economic opportunities. His chapter begins with hers. Life was difficult and became more challenging after Bright joined his mother in Germany. After an unsuccessful career in playing professional soccer, he relocated to the United States. But finances became a burden after enrollment at Bronx Community College, and reality crept up on him like a hungry wolf: but he survived. After taking time away from school to work and pay off his debt, he successfully transferred to Brown University as a Jack Kent Cooke Scholar. Bright will be speaking about how he came from a place where there was no chance so he had to do the impossible.
