18 spotlight Bonsu Osei Tutu’s journey with The Brain Tumor Foundation began in an unexpected yet deeply impactful way. In November 2023, while attending a close friend’s 50th birthday celebration in Houston, Bonsu met Jejo, a fellow attendee. Seated next to each other, their casual conversation soon turned into an emotional discussion about Jejo’s recent brain surgery and recovery journey. That conversation stayed with Bonsu, and when he later learned that Jejo, along with their mutual connection Mansa Agyare, was spearheading an initiative to raise awareness about brain tumors in Ghana, Bonsu knew he had to be involved. He joined the very next call and has been a committed supporter ever since. Bonsu’s inspiration to support Ghana Brain Tumor Foundation is deeply personal. About a decade ago, his sister — a doctor in Ghana — was misdiagnosed with a brain tumor after a CT scan showed concerning results. Thankfully, she was able to travel to the United States for further evaluation at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where it was determined that the initial diagnosis was incorrect due to outdated imaging equipment in Ghana. This experience opened Bonsu’s eyes to the critical gaps in access to accurate medical technology in parts of the world. He recognized the importance of early detection and accurate diagnosis — and understood the profound impact organizations like Ghana Brain Tumor Foundation could have in addressing these issues.
