NAANA

There is a monumental significance placed on names in Ghana. “They hold exquisite jewels of stories.” says Naana, who was given the full complement of her Grandmother’s name. It is not to be called carelessly. Rather, it is to be pronounced properly. Almost sung. Like a song. Listen, as she effortlessly portrays the stories of her own name, addressing themes of family, language and legacy.
