REVIEW ON SUNDAY

 A review by Betty Owusuwaa. Kumi

    Out of the 22 stories of the larabanga anthology, SUNDAY! seems to be a favorite.

     Ursula M. Abanga in her own style and creativity displays a typical African culture and behavior in her write-up. The settings of the story was in one of the African countries, "Gabon" which I see to be very intelligent of her to choose that.

        The love for Sunday's expressed by the character or narrator is something that goes on in most African homes. "Many people love Sunday's for the reason that after church service, they get to rest throughout the day. It's a day free of any form of stress".

    In a couple of short paragraphs, after introducing Mbakpeem, the writer gives a vivid explanation why Mbakpeem thinks Christianity is a form of slavery from the we white man as to why he despised FR Peter the missionary. "I don't trust the white man and I most certainly don't trust his God". This explains a lot as to how Africans serve “God" in their own way but has decided to follow the white man's way of worship. We adopt that of the white man's culture and throw away our beautiful culture.

    Ursula used a lot of metaphors in describing the characters but they were easy to understand them and I applaud her for that.

     SUNDAY is a story worth reading and recommend it to everyone to read such stories which depict the African home on Sunday's where each and everyone has a role to play in the Kitchen and the family eats together.

This is a good piece by Ursula Abanga.!

A JOURNALIST MAKES HER OWN INCOME -ABA ASAMOAH

 

                

  Online/broadcast journalist Aba Asamoah has explained that a professional journalist's revenue depends on them.

She disclosed this during a press conference for level 400 journalism students at AUCC on Monday February 22.          

According to Ms. Asamoah, journalism pays depending on the connections or links a reporter has with the larger society.

“when you are a principled journalist you don't take sides” she said.

She deplored the situation where journalists are reduced to begging for handouts because media houses do not pay them enough.

The degree holder in Development communication believes in equal rights and uses the broader communication platform to tell stories of the vulnerable to support them one way or the other.

She has no intentions of getting any profits or any sort of benefits from the society. All she aims for is to assist the vulnerable.

Aba Asamoah through her articles has helped people in need of support for surgeries and also scholarships by soliciting donations from people around the world. She has made great impacts on society and is willing to do more.

CRITICISMS NEVER STOPPED ME – Afua boni

             

  Afua boni, the New York City-based Ghanaian-German model/singer/actress, has told journalism students that criticism makes a person better. She said this during a press conference for Level 400 students at AUCC last Monday February 22.

             Born Judith Afua Serwaa Owusu–Afriyie, Boni, the CEO and founder of G.D.M.A., the international modeling agency, said she's dealt with her fair share of racism.

She says being a strong African woman has helped her to stand amidst the emotional and physical criticisms she has received.

“You either learn or get better with critics” she added.

         Afua Boni said modeling is not as easy as it seems. She recalled an incident when there was a problem with her attire for the runway: the shoes she was given to match her dress was too tight. She said she went along and endured the pain.

         Growing up, Boni was a shy child who wanted to be a singer but everything switched after a chance meeting at 14 with celebrity photographer Martina Schilling in Germany. Martina loved her goofiness and took her to the studio. She became cover girl for various magazines and today has graced the runways of the world’s fashion capitals.
