Author Visits & Speaking

Inspiring Courage, Kindness & Resilience, One Story at a Time

As a children’s author, public speaker, and youth coach, I love visiting schools and organisations to share stories that spark imagination, courage, and self-belief.

Growing up in Ghana, I didn’t have many storybooks around me. Books were treasures you had to borrow and return quickly. Years later, as a teacher in Ghana, and now in the UK, I’ve seen how many stories shape children’s confidence and worldview. They help them believe that their voices matter.

During my school visits, I share my own journey, from being a girl who was teased and bullied to becoming a teacher and writer determined to make a difference. My story beautifully connects with Golina’s Glorious Quests, my debut children’s book about a brave little pangolin who discovers courage, kindness, and purpose on her adventures.

Together, my personal story and Golina’s journey inspire children to:

  • Believe in themselves even when life feels tough.
  • Celebrate what makes them unique.
  • Show kindness and courage in their own small ways.

What to Expect:
