Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
My name is Arnelle, and I’m a junior at Stanford, and the second daughter (and middle child!) of Jayne Ampadu and Kwadjo Ayirebi. I’m really interested in people: how we work, make decisions, and connect with each other. I spend a lot of time thinking about these things through my major at school (Symbolic Systems) that’s for me a crazy combination of computer science, economics, philosophy, and psychology. I also love food, and have been working for the past few months on a cookbook. It (when finished) will capture a glimpse of the immigrant experience through recipe, and will explore notions of identity, authenticity, and ownership through food. I’m really excited about it, and have had an amazing time working on it because it allows me to hear people’s stories.
