~ To me, defending the highest potential in others is the essence of what it means to be a lawyer.
This begins by cross-examining how we understand ourselves and our power. I start with men––and to that end, build vocational pathways designed to help men build lives of purpose and power.

About.

I am Christine Ohenewah, a Lawyer and Professor cross-examining how we understand men and power. Born in Accra, Ghana and based in New York, I founded The Elizabeth Tweneboah Foundation to create vocational pathways that help people become creators over consumers and construct lives aligned with their highest potential.
My driving focus centers on a critical issue: the prevailing discord between men and women. I believe the solution must begin with understanding men properly and providing them the right systems to thrive. Men are struggling—falling behind in education and facing unprecedented challenges with purpose and mental health—creating ripple effects that impact our society at large.
Men's Rea™ is my institutional response. This flagship program of The Elizabeth Tweneboah Foundation uses legal reasoning and strategic frameworks to help men challenge inherited narratives about masculinity, build their own code of self-governance, and move toward genuine power and purpose. Through vocational training, mentorship, and personal development, Men's Rea™ addresses the male educational crisis while teaching strategic thinking that benefits broader communities.
I earned my J.D. from Cornell Law School and hold advanced degrees from Columbia University and the University of Chicago. After practicing White Collar litigation at McGuireWoods LLP in New York City—handling SEC and DOJ investigations—I now serve as faculty at four universities, teaching Criminology, Sociology, and Law & Ethics while building the Foundation.
To me, defending the highest potential in others is the essence of what it means to be a lawyer. Building vocational pathways for men is how I apply this principle to one of our most critical social challenges.
