Black Ice
short film
Akwasi Frimpong dared to dream. In 2018 that belief paid off: Akwasi became the first Black male skeleton athlete in the history of the Olympic Games and Ghana's second-ever Winter Olympian. While an unfortunately timed Covid diagnosis has kept him from qualifying for Beijing 2022, Akwasi continues to show the power of Dreaming On.
