ABOUT ME

I was born in Accra, Ghana to an African-American mother and Ghanaian father. My experiences growing up and viewing the world through the clouded lens of a “hybrid Ghanaian” girl child helped me to appreciate and analyze the unique struggles that women of all races and ethnicities must overcome within the confines of their culture. My  goal as a writer is to buoy the collective voice of African women.

 

I write about the things that intrigue me most: politics, economics, agriculture, marriage and sex on my blogs Mind of Malaka (www.mindofmalaka.com) and Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women (www.adventuresfrom) and have been interviewed on NPRs ‘Tell Me More’ with Michel Martin, BBC Focus on Africa, and several international radio and print publications.
