Nita, founder of Red Sandal Tours, was born in Ghana. As a daughter of a diplomat, she left for her first overseas trip at the age of 7 when her father was assigned to the Czech Republic. Nita left Ghana after completing her secondary schooling. She made New York State her permanent home after living in Europe. Concentrating in History at Columbia University as well as living in Switzerland, sparked her interest in historical and cultural traveling. Brown has traveled extensively throughout the world, studying painting, sculpture and architecture: from da Vinci's Mona Lisa to Bernini's David to the Ajanta Caves and the Taj Mahal in India. Her traveling experience and managerial skills were further strengthened working as a consultant for an international management consultancy and obtaining her MBA in International General Management from Georgetown University. Nita started Red Sandal Tours, the marketing name for Maame Koranchee’s LLC in 2003 to introduce her clients to the treasures of select “third world” countries. The company focuses on trips to Ghana, South Africa, Brazil and the Gullah Islands in South Carolina. Nita not only accompanies clients on the tours, but also consults and conducts educational workshops for students and educators on best practices in multi-cultural pedagogy. These presentations aim to provide audience with another perspective of the country being featured. Click here for Nita's speaking engagments.

Albert rose from humble beginnings in Ghana and has become one of the world’s leading motivational speaker, consultant, and trainer for employees at top companies throughout North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. With an impressive profit and non-profit client list that boasts, Starbucks, Mohammed Jalal group Middle East, Boeing, Africa on Line, John Deere Corporation, Bank Of America, Wells Fargo Bank and Rochester City School District, he has built a strong reputation among business leaders and corporate executives as the catalyst for driving employee morale, increasing work productivity, and enhancing team commitment through his energizing, inspirational, and often invigorating speaking engagements.

A natural-born leader and pioneer, Albert quickly elevated in the highly saturated, competitive speaking industry and grew a startup company from zero to $300,000 in annual revenues through creative marketing and extensive networking strategies. True to his brand of excellence, he earned the prestigious, “Certified Speaker Professional” award—a nominal feat only given to the top 7% of international professional speakers—in just four years instead of the standard five-year period.  As a natural extension to his consultancy, Albert’s new venture is Red Sandal Tours, where he’ll not only have the opportunity to drive employee morale through speech, but will be able to energize them by “opening their eyes to the world” via the company’s educational and cultural tours.
