Thank you for paving the way for us and showing us what we can be. I hope you have a fantastic day, sweetened with all the joy and celebration you deserve.
Let's spend the rest of our evening listening to Ama Ata Aidoo in conversation with Kobena Eyi Acquah at the opening of the first edition of Pa Gya! A Literary Festival in Accra. #pagya2017.
Enjoy!

Ama Ata Aidoo (Ghanaian author, poet, playwright, and academic) is 80 years old today.
Here she is with Noviolet Bulawayo at Freedom Park, Lagos. February, 2014.
'Changes' was the first Ama Ata Aidoo book I actively remember reading. I was in junior high and was so in love with it that I wanted to write a story exactly like it! (I was also half in love with Esi's second husband). This book was my first introduction, at that stage,
Today my mum, @AmaAtaAidoo, turns 80. Happy birthday Mummy. The boys and I love you loads. I've said often that writer-moms are the best and you are among the best of writer-moms. Wo tsri nkwa! Afenhyiapa!!!
Happy birthday to Ghanaian writer,author,poet ,playwright educator&founder of the Mbaasem Foundation Ama Ata Aidoo.
Share with us ,your fav book,poem line ,quote or memory you have of her !
Ours- we were lucky to have her open the very first Pagya festival in 2017.
@virgo2384 Interesting question. The Ghana Bureau of Languages has some published resources. That would be a good book source... Otherwise, hang out in very Ga areas of Accra and just learn by interaction...

Books vs. Movies
What's your go-to??
Would you read a book that has a movie made from it or would you rather watch the movie and let the book be??
