With a background in media, communication, theology, technology, counseling, and family life education, Dr. Tuffour created Awarepa to bridge heart, culture, and commitment — especially for Ghanaians at home and abroad.

He understands how many struggle to find someone who shares their faith, values, and cultural roots. Awarepa exists to change that — by offering a safe, intentional space where profound love begins.

Dr. Tuffour is married to a licensed psychotherapist, and together, they are raising four wonderful children. They live in the United States, where their passion for healthy families continues to shape lives locally and globally.

He enjoys watching the news, following soccer, and managing thriving social media and digital platforms that inspire, educate, and connect people across cultures. One of these platforms is TuffWords, where he makes words accessible and enjoyable—covering everything from ordinary to unique terms in English and Twi.
