Meet Adjoa Asamoah, One Of The Black Women Instrumental To Joe Biden Victory As Us President-Elect

It is not news that the Blacks were instrumental to Joe Biden’s victory as President-Elect of the United States as he won two-thirds of the Black votes in South Carolina to beat his competitors.

His victory can be attributed to the work of Adjoa Asamoah who was the campaign’s National Advisor for Black Engagement.

Adjoa had explained in an interview that her role as National Advisor for Black Engagement involves working on multiple fronts to meaningfully engage the Black community, ranging from the African Diaspora to the Panhel family.

Born to a Ghanaian father and Black American mother, she holds degrees in Psychology, African American Studies, and Educational Psychology from Temple University.

She also holds a certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from St. Joseph’s University and holds multiple licenses including one as a behavior specialist.

Adjoa is a distinguished alumna of the Women’s Campaign School at Yale University, completed the UPENN Equity Institute for Doctoral Students at the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education, was an international student—studying abroad at the University of Ghana, and she is a doctoral candidate in Leadership (Administration and Policy) at The George Washington University.

Her thought leadership in the equity arena resulted in an appointment as a senior policy advisor in the District of Columbia’s Executive Office of the Mayor, followed by an appointment to the Commission on African American Affairs, where she served as the highest-ranking elected member.

Adjoa describes herself as a successful impact strategist, international influencer, and racial equity, diversity, and inclusion champion.
