Day 11: 5 Proverbs from Ghana (Akan)

Day 11: 5 Proverbs from Ghana (Akan)

Hi all, I am so excited to share some Akan proverbs with you all. I actually have a book of proverbs that I really love, so this was really exciting for me.

“akoda pa na onya ade3”- A good child get what it wants (Virtue is rewarded)

“kotere nsuro awu asie”- A lizard does not…

The Silent Tax Nobody Voted For

I loathe Black Tax. I also respect it critically, because to understand it fully is to understand everything that African governments have failed to build, everything that capitalism has never been designed to provide, and everything that Ubuntu promises but cannot deliver when it only flows in one direction. 44% South African households supporting multiple generations in 2025, up from 41% in…

Power of words and content creators.

Day 1 WinterABC25 Entry The universe can come into existence through words; if you believe in the story of creation, you must know that God’s first creation was His Son, “the Word,” and it was through Him that all other things were created. They created the whole universe, with billions of galaxies and planets, through words over trillions of years. That includes everything we know and what we…

AI and Content Creation WinterABC Day 3

Day 3 is here and I know it’s going to be a very controversial one, everything that has been generated by AI can be identified by machines, that’s the beauty. A year ago, Jason Allen won an art competition with his AI-generated painting, which sparked criticism. He wrote the prompt and spent 80 hours on the piece that was entered into the digital category. It’s a beautiful painting of a space…

Storytelling week: The school takers

If you noticed I never took part in the Winter Blogging Challenge 2021. If you are confused by that statement you are poor at following instructions and you don’t take in pieces of information reasonably. I was wondering what from my life could go for storytelling. Since I am human I have something. A tale about my choice in leisure footwear. I never own more than 3 pairs of shoes at a time. Why…

Advocacy: Callout Genocide

the planned killing of a considerable multitude of people from a specific nation or ethnic group with the aim of eradicating that nation or group, genocide. This word genocide was coined in 1943 by the Jewish-Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin, who combined the Greek word “genos” (race or tribe) with the Latin word “cide” (to kill). In December 1948 the United Nations Genocide Convention was put in…

Imposter syndrome or Insecurity

Imposter syndrome or Insecurity

For day 2 of the Winter African Blogging Challenge, I want to be a little bit unorthodox and maybe controversial as I push a school of thought. Hope I succeed for the good of creatives. <blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Our work/passions can’t be our safe space forever, we need people at some point. At one point there those that will be better than us, younger, more…

Creatives: Accessible/Approachable

#WinterABC if the creator of everything is approachable you pride doesn’t make sense at all. Who are creatives? That’s one question that is still up for debate. So prefer to call them the new careers even when they have been here for millennia and they are just being accepted in mainstream society. But we can agree on this, they are characterized by the power to create and they are genius in…
