In the heart of Ghana, where the vibrant culture and rich traditions
thrive, I, Alexander Afriyie, grew up under the guidance of my
remarkable mother, Akosua Darkwaa. Her unwavering support, wisdom,
and love shaped me into the person I am today. As I reflect on my
journey, I am reminded of the invaluable lessons Akosua taught me –
lessons that I will carry with me forever.
Growing up in Kumawu, I was surrounded by the sights, sounds, and
aromas of our bustling community. Akosua’s influence was a constant
presence in my life, from the traditional stories she shared to the values
she instilled in me. Her wisdom was a beacon that navigated me
through life’s challenges, and her love was a haven where I could
always find peace.
This story is a tribute to Akosua’s wisdom, a celebration of our motherson bond, and a testament to the power of legacy. It is a journey
through the lessons she taught me, the experiences we shared, and the
wisdom she imparted. I hope that our story will inspire you to cherish
the relationships in your life, to honour the wisdom of those who came
before us, and to embrace the power of legacy.
