The Legend Turns 50 A mix of memories, mischief, and the man you’ve become Michael Edem Akafia hitting 50 is wild—because somehow you’ve managed to be the intellectual, the serious one, and the laid-back one all at once. You’ve lived fifty years with the steady calm of an economist, the sharpness of a lawyer, and the classic “I know what I’m doing” confidence of a brother who grew up fast and grew up right. This story is told by passing the baton.
