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.

Wonderfully illustrated by @Scorpio__Eyes who gave life to these amazing Ghanaian women. A few months after this book was published, two of the women passed away. It makes me think of the stories we lose without documentation.

It might always seem hopeless as imperialism continues to leave us in a state of constant struggle, but the moments of joy like this give rise to hope for a better future.

Happy publication to this wonderful book of mine that beautifully connects Ghana's Independence Day and International Women's Day. These two days make me think of those erased and silence and the work we have to do to rewrite them into our history and futures.
