Amaka’s Thoughts on #AccelerateAction
“African women’s stories are powerful tools for change, reflecting their core values
and shared struggles. It is imperative that we do not suppress their voices. To
#AccelerateAction we must amplify their voices and celebrate their contributions to
literature.”
