#NO LIFEGUARD

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports about 300,000 global drowning deaths yearly, with 92% in low- and middle-income countries, particularly Africa and Asia. Ed Accura, a music and film producer, uses creative content like music and documentaries to address this crisis, especially where traditional water safety methods fail.

His impactful works include the documentary "Blacks Can't Swim" and co-founding the Black Swimming Association (BSA) to promote water safety and inclusivity. Raised in London and Ghana, Ed's music career evolved from avant-garde to hip-hop in the '90s, focusing on socially conscious themes and initiatives that address disparities in swimming skills within diverse communities.

Through documentaries like "Changing The Narrative" and podcasts such as "Why We Don't Talk About SWIM," Ed provokes discussions on aquatic issues. His dedication to storytelling and advocacy aims to create a more inclusive aquatic community and inspire positive change globally.
