She ain’t no small town girl. This Ghanian woman does everything big – from hair, to ideas, to a trademark laugh that at times seems as if its decibels could reach to her hometown. But, that’s what’s so great about her, she lives, big! And, thus is a welcomed reminder that we all should too.

You can find her covering black culture for The Root and writing about it elsewhere in magazines like Arise.
