#DearJohn: Letter to my crush!

Dear John, I’ll keep this brief. But at this point, you’re really frustrating me.

Anyway, I…

#DearJohn: Letter to the One Who Got Away!

I’ve always wanted to say one or two things to my ‘almost relationships’ and the men in my life. Everything I have ever wanted to say are deep seated in my memory. When I chanced upon the #DearJohn Challenge on social media, my mind went bingo! I think this is the perfect opportunity for me…

#WinterABC: Day 14 – Drums!

I am to share about one cultural aspect from my country or community. I choose to talk about drumming. Drumming and dancing form an integral part of all Ghanaian culture and social gatherings. When its time for traditional marriages, naming ceremonies, funerals, durbars, festivals etc, you’ll see a large display of drums accompanied with dancing….
