"You think being a man is easy? He makes it look easy."
Right. And that's why y'all are so damn spoiled and entitled, think he should break budgets on you and you bitch about home-cooked meals.
Men make the balls they keep in their air look so seamless that you underrate it.
REST IN POWER, MAMA AIDOO
One of Africa's finest literary minds has sadly joined the ancestors last year on 31st May 2023 . Ama Ata Aidoo, Ghanaian author, poet and academic passed after a short illness. She was 81.
She was one of the greats we lost in 2023.
Her work foregrounded the lived experiences of African women and promoted the idea of a unique African identity.
She first made her name with the play Dilemma of a Ghost, which - in 1965 - also made her the first African female dramatist to get published. Itโs about a Ghanaian man who brings his Black-American wife to live with him in Africa, and the challenges and culture clash this creates.
Other notable works include Our Sister Killjoy (1970), Changes: A Love Story (1991) and An Angry Letter in January and Other Poems (1992). Her repertoire earned her widespread recognition and a string of awards - including the Commonwealth Writersโ Prize and the Nelson Mandela Prize for Poetry.
Aidoo was also committed to improving education for young Africans - becoming Ghanaโs education minister in 1982. She resigned after a year and a half, after failing to push through universally free schooling. She was then hired by Zimbabwe to develop school curriculums.
As an academic, she held posts at a number of American and Ghanaian institutions. In 2000, she set up the Mbaasem Foundation, which supports African women writers.
Though she may be gone, the African giantess will be fondly remembered by many that learnt at her feet. She helped us see our own importance and reminded us of African responsibilities in ensuring our survival.
We join Africans everywhere in celebrating her life by sharing this memorable video - in which she picks apart Western mistreatment of Africans, and in which her personality shines. Rest in power, Mama Aidoo.
InshAllah, we will continue to implement and complete our late beloved founder Tuku Jallowโs vision and mission. May her soul rest peacefully in Janneh.
Allhamdulliah, Thank you to our SENDGO team in Gambia for the implementation of our newest Borehole for the citizens and residents of Birkama, providing clean drinking water. Made possible by Tuku Jallow. #LongliveTukuJallow#Gambia#philanthropy#Africa
Education is culture, thatโs why Arabs teach their kids in Arabic, British teach their kids in English, Chinese teach their kids in Chinese. Itโs only in Africa where English is a measure of intelligence.
One of 13 borehole projects our beloved founder Tuku Jallow implemented before her untimely passing. May her soul rest peacefully in Janneh and may Allah continue to bless her for her great deeds, kind acts, and dedication to her people and homeland of The Gambia ๐ฌ๐ฒ
