The theme, African Slavery, is close to my heart as I was born in Ghana. The people are friendly and wonderful to be with. My memories of growing up there is that of hot weather, beautiful plant life, forests, wide spaces, language, and culture.

While receiving this certificate empowers me and motivates me to write more, it doesn’t define me. My writing was used as therapy for my recovery from surgery and expanded from there. I hope that it resonates with my audience and helps them feel less alone in a world that has the need to isolate people by creating labels for them to seperate them from one another. Through this, they leave little room for compassion and humanity to connect, but divides.

Modern society has a tendency to create class/ label subdivisions in order to create distance, even dissention among the population. It’s ironic, really, how by coming up with a variety of labels that are racial, neurological, gender specific, and more are invariably creating communities within communities that create separation and division between a community. These classifications make communication more difficult, as traditional rules don’t apply, more specifically, they deviate from the norm, creating a greater gap in understanding the needs of all. I may be backwards or too traditional, but at least in a world where gender roles, values, acceptable behavior, and norms have all become skewed.
