Hi, Thanks For Stopping By!
I'm Vanessa! You can also call me Afia or, Afia Boahemaa if you're feeling extra cultural, haha. I am a Ghanaian writer, which essentially means I love words and eggs lol! In all seriousness, I love all forms of writing, be it poetry, essays, literary fiction, expository work, you name it. Writing has a way of bringing to life the stories that would have remained untold as lips remained fastened. I love God, and have been privileged to be fashioned in His own image. As the Lord is the ultimate Creator, it was inevitable that creativity would also flow through the fiber of my being and pour out of me. In the Bible, we witness Yahweh bring things to life with words, call forth light with words, call people out of bondage and unto higher ground with words. Words are powerful, they have a way of reaching the innermost crevices of man when used intentionally. I only pray that the good Lord will continue to teach me and help me use my words intentionally. Welcome.
