"With any volunteer opportunity, I took the opportunity to serve, and with this, I learned a lot of skills, broadened my network, I developed myself, learned leadership skills, gained credibility, and that came with a lot of success."
"Success is when opportunity meets preparation"
"Do not underestimate small beginnings, remember it is a beginning, the journey is going to go on."
"Passion alone does not do it for you, you have to couple that passion with knowledge, seek growth, and educate your life." - ROSEMOND SARPONG OWENS
BIO OF ROSEMOND SARPONG OWENS â THE LIONâS HISTORIAN
I am a Ghanaian-American diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice (DEIJ) practitioner and author. I have lived in the Midwestern United States for more than two decades. My formative years impacted my decision to be a DEIJ practitioner and my compulsion to write.Â
I call myself the âLionâs Historianâ in reference to the quote by a famed African author, Chinua Achebe: âUntil the lions have their own historians, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.â For centuries, the huntersâ tales have been exalted and are still being extolled. To fill this void, I will create childrenâs history books that retell the stories of our African ancestors. Internalized racism and colorism stem from mainstream beauty standards that exclude and marginalize people of color.
I live by the motto: âRepresentation Matters.â To see people who look like you makes you feel included, that you belong. Thus, such historical representations in a childrenâs book can cast a new narrative and inspire a positive sense of self, wholeness, and well-being. It can unleash a personâs potential, possibilities, and purpose. To that end, I am compelled to write these childrenâs books.
My hope is that as people, especially children see themselves in books, it can inculcate in their self-love, educate them on their heritage, and glorify a diverse, inclusive, and equitable portrayal of our ancestors.Â

We all have to take the necessary action to be the change we want to see in our communities and beyond.Â

For me, every day is an opportunity for a better life, because I incorporate messages of hope and faith more deeply into everything I do.
Â
Because of the faith, I BELIEVE, TRUST and STRETCH. What I call the BTS of life.Â
With this, I am able to thrive in challenging times and not only survive.Â
 I want to assure you to Believe because you are closer than you think.

Do you know that growth does not just happen? As individuals, we need to take the time to plan our growth by starting at where we are, knowing where we want to go, and starting now to commit to doing what it takes to get to where we want to be.Â
