LIFE LESSON: It's ok to be SELFISH.


Although my family history is a grace to grass one, my parents sheltered us regardless. We grew up in Ho and if you know Ho, you know nothing ever happens there. It's a small town, no one is competing with anyone and everyone knows ya business.

What is "Humble"?

Jackie Appiah


I believe it was two years ago, at Godwin Kotey's funeral and his daughter, Naa was sitting with me and I was trying so hard not cry. It was a whole lot of things to process at that event.  Across from us was someone I consider a legitimate celebrity in Ghana by virtue of how she carries herself. Ms Jackie Appiah.

Deconstructing



It was a very hectic and busy week for me. sorry for the absence. I know I need to tie you guys over. I've been writing and writing and writing.

GULLIBLE. How many times do you think about this word?
Internet. Blogs. Opinions. Judgement. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. With the social media rampage ongoing, we hear everyone's' opinion whether we like it or not.

Deconstruction. How often do we do this?

REGRETS -- I HAVE HAD A FEW


When I'm invited to speak or when I speak to people or even when I write, I make a lot of references to my personal life. I do that because that is what I draw from, that is what I am, that is why I am who I am and I have to be honest about the things I got wrong and be proud of the things I got right. Above all, someone might learn from my experiences.

A NORTHERN AFFAIR


I have come under a lot of fire from folks who have seen A Northern Affair. Even from my family. My sister Karin gave me a side glance and asked 'Why doesn't it look like anything else you've done"
Ama K Abebrese said. "Chic, I know you know this is far from your style of work"
