A wife and mom of two kids with Ghanaian names, she is very familiar with her discomfort when she says others’ names incorrectly or when others say her own last name or her kid’s names in a way that does not sound like it at all.
In her free time, she mentors other women in STEM fields, facilitates a work-life balance support group, and volunteers in various community programs. Fun and relaxation to her means self-care, time with family, and new experiences through travel and meeting new people.

Names
Adwoa (A-joa) comes home from school upset. Mom learns Adwoa’s name was mispronounced again, but this time in front of the entire school. Mom knows it is hard to say some names and even she, has struggled sometimes.
Mom and Adwoa talk about what to do when someone says her name incorrectly. Thoughtful, kind people in the world will want to practice saying a name because behind that name is a real, breathing, living person.
All proceeds will be donated to the R&F Foundation Ghana.
