Episode 24 with Samuel Dela Ahiataku aka SkateSam Ghana Then And Now Blading

For Episode 24 of the Then and Now Podcast, I interview Ahiataku Samuel Dela, aka Darling Sam. Sam lives in Accra, the capital of Ghana, on the Atlantic coast of West Africa, where he documents his skating through his YouTube Channel SkateSam Ghana. In this interview, we dive into his past, how he got started, his struggles, getting noticed, and sponsorships. We discuss his YouTube channel, how things are going for him now, and his plans for the future. We also talk about the skate scenes in Ghana and Western Africa, meeting Ricardo Lino, his faith, and why he loves rollerblading so much!
