Growing up, I always found it fascinating how diverse my family background was. My dad hails from Tikobo No. 1 in the Western Region, proudly Nzema. My mum, on the other hand, is a blend of cultures, with her father from Anomabu in the Central Region and her mother from Axim in the Western Region. This mix meant that, apart from English, I grew up speaking both Nzema and Fante.
