A conversation between host Abena Maryan and guest Ama Asantewa Diaka, known as Poetra Asantewa, about her book "Woman Eat Me Whole" published by Ecco Books an Imprint of Harper Collins also available on Scribd. She talks about her challenges and how she overcame them by keeping a positive attitude in the face of rejection. Poetra Asantewa is the founder of Black Girls Glow, a non-profit organization fostering collaborations among women artists and exploring ways that art can build a community. She is the founder of Tampered Press, an online journal that seeks to create visibility for writers and visual artists in Ghana and Africa.

For so long, there have been white or western Book Influencers and Reviewers telling us which books are worth our attention. It is satisfying to see that bookstagram is increasingly becoming diverse with African Book Influencers creating content about books on the continent and in the diaspora. African Book Influencers are what I call the new voices in Africa's literary space creating and making a change for the millions of people using social media. Join my guests and I talk about our bookstagram experience.
