Hi Storytelling friends, It's your favorite chuga chuga chu chuuuu storytelling train. Making #ANODABANGA #Eeeeeppppic stop! Lemme tell you a short story so you understand my excitement . In film school, we were being taught how to do music videos and all the directing students had the freedom to choose which songs to shoot. Yours truly at the time basically listened to Classical music, Yanni, Youssou Ndour, Angélique Kidjo and Salif Keita Official Fan Page. But you all know which one I chose to do my music video on right?? Hehe… anyway my classmate, The extraordinary Rita Safowaa Karikari-Prempeh chose the indefatigable (Didn't know it then) Ben Brako's song Mawei. And omg! What imagery! What creativity! During student screening, I was instantly blown away and proceeded to just binge listen to his songs! Let me tell you, when they tell you to throw your dreams forward, DO IT!!! I have always had M'wofa Ben Brako (You know I gotta give him a name na ) on my wish list. And inside of 2 days, TWOOO DAYS!!! Any3mi I was talking to #THELEGEND like we'd known each other forever! Yhup! Get you an uncle Fisho for #Powerintros like this one. Eiiiiish! Ayam shocked mpo. You issokay, If you know, you know!!! The stories this #AfricanGiant is poised to share on Tuesday nu eh!!! I beg don't miss!!! And also, it took close to 20 years after film school to have the honor of speaking with him b333333333t ….

On Sunday, mothers were celebrated the world over. It goes without saying that Mothers and Motherhood forms a big part of our society and we at TMYS celebrate mothers and motherhood in all its forms and variations. This week, we take a break from our regularly scheduled storytelling time with a guest to go back in time and listen to a woman who has been mother to many around the world as she writes letters to her daughter. The irony is not lost on us that To My Younger Self originally started as "Dear Daughter". So hey, grab your coffee/tea, put in your earphones, close your eyes intermittently to soak in the import of her words, and let's have a listening session together.

Hi storytelling friends, this week, we take a trip the the beautiful Shai hills of Ghana West Africa. The hills in the Shai area is home to several stone quarries with a diverse vegetation combination of open and wooded grassland.

Hello story friends

Hi storytelling friends

Hi storytelling friends

So we called a wrap for the year on #TMYS last week….. Or did we?

My earliest memory of Christmas is of mama making a budget for the ingredients she needed for making chips, home made nkatie burger, cake and other condiments. I also remember our annual major cleaning ritual. Normally around the 23rd or 24th of December just in time for the 25th. I remember the anticipation of Christmas morning… not for presents under a Christmas tree - for there were none lol. But for the return home after service that morning and the special rice and stew and COKE we were sure to enjoy…. I Remember … O so many things I remember about our very African Christmas. Hi storytelling friends ….. Join your favorite chuga chuga storytelling train next week as TMYS team members share childhood Christmas stories… And hey, what's your Christmas story? …. #TMYS #WhatsYourStory #StillWeRise #AndWeTellStories #LetsGoAfrica #LetsGoGhana #WeGotNOWForever #BalafonGriots #AVeryAfricanChristmas
