Conversations with Ama
By Ama
An outlet to speak about the experiences which have shaped me into the woman I am today. It will be heavy sometimes, it will be light on other occasions because, we would share on the things weigh on me, excite me, annoy me, parenting, music, skincare, finance, my journey, my hopes, my aspirations, my voice. Just a no holds barred conversation, sometimes with myself, sometimes with my friends or guests who will share some knowledge with us. It would definitely be tinged with my Ghanaian vibe. For more of what I do find me on www.aeagyeman.com

Abuse is a sin
The church, abuse, the victim and the perpetrator. When it comes to abuse, the church is reluctant to call it a sin.
