July 4, 2025 — Dr. Tsatsu E. Nyamadi, President of the Council of Ewe Associations of North America, Inc. (CEANA), issued a heartfelt message today commemorating the United States’ Independence Day and reflecting on the enduring values of freedom and civic responsibility.
Recognizing July 4 as the date when the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the Second Continental Congress in 1776, Dr. Nyamadi expressed well-wishes on behalf of the CEANA Secretariat to members and well-wishers across the globe. He called on individuals to embrace patriotism and reflect on the freedoms that have defined the American identity since its founding.
Dr. Nyamadi emphasized the cultural and historical importance of Independence Day, describing it as a time to celebrate with family and friends through fireworks, parades, picnics, and community gatherings, while acknowledging the deeper significance behind the festivities.
In his message, he extended special appreciation to citizens of Eweland—spanning Abidjan, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria’s Badagry region—for their steadfast support of CEANA’s mission. He highlighted their contributions as vital to advancing development initiatives and preserving cultural heritage.
As anticipation builds for CEANA’s 32nd Annual Convention, set to take place from August 28 to September 1, 2025, at the Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel in Irving, Texas, Dr. Nyamadi encouraged members of the Ewe diaspora to join in person or contribute online. This year’s theme, “Our Health, Our Wealth,” underscores CEANA’s commitment to uplifting communities through strategic health and development initiatives.
