CONVERSATION WITH AMA ATA AIDOO

Ama Ata Aidoo Center for Creative Writing at the African University College of Communications cordially invites you to attend the event dubbed: Conversation with Ama Ata Aidoo, October 16, 2018 at AUCC forecourt.
This event will give attendees the opportunity to interact with this great woman and influencer of African women writers.
Ama Ata Aidoo is from a Royal family from Fanti land. Her father was an advocate of Western education and sent her to Wesley Girls High school in 1961 to 1964.
In 1964, Aidoo enrolled in the University of Ghana in Legon, where she found her "writer self." Knowing that she would not be able to write stories "sounding like an English girl," she set out to make her stories "as authentically African as possible."
While she was a student, she wrote her first play, The Dilemma of a Ghost, about a Ghanaian man who returns from a Sojourn in the United States with an African-American wife much to the dismay of his family. The play initially staged in 1965, was published the following year, making Ama Ata Aidoo the first published African women dramatist.
Her first novel Our Sister Killjoy, 1977, was inspired by her sojourn in London also.
Come gain knowledge and skills in writing novels, and be motivated by a real life story..
