3 years ago, I decided to make a list about the women I knew in Ghana’s history. The list was pitifully short. So, I wrote a book for the young me who needed to know the women in Ghana’s history especially around the independence period.

English isn’t a measure of intelligence, it just gives us the ability to communicate with others who speak same.

It isn’t a “benefit” of colonization; they didn’t “gift” us language to make us better, if anything it was to their benefit if we spoke their language.

If you choose a path different from what your immigrant parents have in mind for you, you’ll need to work twice as hard for them to take you seriously.

Automatic Abbreviations:

If you're like me, autocorrect is more of an annoyance than a help.

Let's change that.

Set up your own custom list of abbreviations, and bend its powers to your will.

Output = 'To be determined'

At Ghana's Kantamanto market, around 15 million items of used clothing from Western countries arrive every week. The entire population of Ghana is only 30 million.

In my first piece for the @washingtonpost, I discuss the way that various institutions have colluded to entrench homophobia in Ghana.

This collusion has culminated in the current anti-gay bill before parliament today.

Please read and share!
