You Are Unstoppable: Reach Your Goals in Spite of Obstacles
Rita Siaw faced various challenges growing up including taking responsibility for herself and her younger siblings at a tender age. In this book, she outlines her story of refusing to settle for “No” as an answer and being called a failure. She rose through multiple failure of examination, hardship and rejection to become an award-winning teacher, a Radio Show Host, Mandela Washington Fellow and Founder of Feminine Star Africa, a non-profit that provides skills training and scholarships for girls and support the re-entry of teen mothers to school.
Through her painful experiences, she has developed life principles based on values such as perseverance, determination and sacrifice. She has shared, in this book, priceless life lessons to inspire and ginger young people to harness their inner power for greatness.
Proceeds from the sales of this book goes into providing scholarships for girls to further their education.

Investment And Self-Employment Ideas – for Almost Everyone in Ghana
Investment opportunities are as many as human needs, wants and desires. Thus, the aim of this compilation is not to attempt a comprehensive coverage of investment opportunities. In fact, we are not even competent to do so as assuredly our names do not feature among the investment gurus and practitioners even in our home country, let alone in the world.
Rather, our aim is as modest as our target audience. Since Stephen’s book “Twelve Keys to Financial Success” in 2001, we have seen several hundreds of people save and invest their way out of abject poverty in Ghana and in a few other African countries. At the same time, several others have asked for practical ways to save and invest. These are ordinary workers, farmers, students, etc. Their questions convince us of the need to put together two booklets, which far from offering a panacea, are meant to stimulate the thinking of these people to save, invest and create wealth for themselves, their families and their countries.

Mutilated
Barbara Aseke, a ten-year-old primary school pupil, is brutally circumcised and dies from haemorrhage. Her needless death outrages the sensibilities of many, including Dr. Blankson who is unable to save her life. When, in spite of the tragedy, Dr. Blankson’s wife Sarah, wilfully submits herself and undergoes genital mutilation, she reveals the ethnic and cultural diversity that tears their marriage apart. Dutch missionary, Father Willem van Ruisdeal, concerned organisations, Dr. Yvonne Alhassan, Dr. Blankson and even a subdued Sarah, work tirelessly together to eradicate the harmful and obnoxious traditional practice, particularly in the north of Ghana.
The novel tells in lurid details the harrowing experiences and the suffering of millions of girls and women in Africa and thousands of African immigrants in the Western World.
