Akwaaba is an Akan word from West Africa, Ghana to be precise. It literally means welcome back.
Many of us look forward to the March Slice of Life writing experience, which has taken over the month of March for many years. Growing us as writers and helping make our words come alive for our readers.
It is in March that I learn that my words are really worth putting on paper or typed up as I have an audience for my writing. Thank you all, for being here and coming back to this great feast of words and inspiration.
Another part of this, is allowing me to really absorb my environment intentionally and to see every single detail of my day as worthwhile writing moments.
A social platform? A learning platform? When I write, I sometimes feel I just place words on a page, but to my reader it means so much more than I envisage. I learn so much from my readers’ comments and get amazed about the many interpretations of what I write. I am always grateful for the enlightenment.
I learn a lot from the types of writing I meet and the relationships I build. It is indeed a learning and a social platform that is so inspiring, which takes determination to complete, but is truly worth it.
I am a better writing teacher because I am here. I dare to share what I am able to write, so I encourage my students to do the same.
Akwaaba to you all.
