About Me
Hello and welcome!
I’m Rita Siaw , a professional teacher, author, and Mandela Washington Fellow passionate about using stories to spark curiosity, empathy, and action in young minds. With over eight years of teaching experience in both Ghana and the UK, I’ve seen first-hand how books can open worlds, bridge cultures, and inspire dreams.
My debut children’s book, Golina’s Glorious Quests, is more than an adventure—it’s a celebration of diversity, a call to protect endangered wildlife, and a reminder of the kindness we all carry within. Through my nonprofit, Feminine Star Africa, I extend this vision beyond the page by championing literacy and education in rural schools across Ghana and DRC Congo.
Whether I’m writing, teaching, or creating community projects, my mission remains the same: to empower the next generation with the knowledge, courage, and compassion they need to change the world.

Feminine Star Africa Started In 2009 As A Passion To Support Young Girls Who Got Pregnant And Dropped Out Of School In A Village Called Bodada.
In Our Attempt To Curb The Occurrence Of Such Pregnancies And Hep The Girls To Earn Income And Be Self Reliant, We Thought It Wise To Organize Seminars On Sex Education And Engage Them In Pepper Farming To Earn Income. After A Year, We Realized Their Interest Were Different And Started Helping One Girl At A Time To Learn A Trade Or Go Back To School.
In The Year 2016, We Registered Feminine Star Africa As A Non-Profit Organization That Stands For Integrity To Impact The Lives Of Women And Girls By Providing Social Interventions For Their Self-Sufficiency And Independence.
