Hey Fam! Welcome Back to THE NEW AFROLIT!

This week, I had the pleasure of hosting Author Nana Ekua Brew Hammond (my name sake yes!!) and we discussed the importance of owning your story and what that sense of pride in owning your truth feels like.

We discussed:

-How Nana has centered her work around her identity

-How Nana entered into the world of writing

-Reflections of not fitting in, being the "weird" kid

-The importance of translations and African storytelling

-Tips for upcoming writers and creatives

-Learning to stay the course and not give up
