But enough about me! Its Throwbackthursday!
Let's Throw back to this article I wrote last month
that was published by the
Ankara Magazine in September.

RECAP OF SEASON 1
AN AFRICAN CITY.
Labeled by French Elle Magazine as the
African “Sex & The City”, “An African City”,
is an exciting web series about five young
women who relocate from the diaspora to the motherland.
The show hit an impressive 1 million views
on Youtube shortly after its release, and was
recently highlighted in Ebony Magazine
for the fashion-forward ankara-print pieces
featured on the show.
Its title depicts its setting; in this
case the “ african city” refers to Accra,
the capital of the Gold Coast (Ghana).

Call it what you may, but I am going
with The Urban African Girl Survival
Kit as it blatantly depicts issues that the
metropolitan African girl experiences,
in a world where she is expected to
meet unreasonable cultural standards,
irrespective of the detail that
she is emerging economically, socially,
and yes! Even sexually.

| With Actress Nana Yaa and Constance Ejuma. |
Here are 3 conversations that need to be
had, based on my favorite episodes in season 1!
Two sentences for you: goodbye fictional expectations!
Hello culture shock!
YOUR VAGINA IS NOT
A BANK, QUEEN.
In Episode 2 of An African City,
Nana Yaa struggles to find an apartment.
In conversation with her girls on the costly
nature of such a venture, her sexually-free
friend Sade aka sugar baby advises her to get
a sugar daddy in order to afford not only a posh place,
but also to enjoy countless trips to Dubai,
expensive purses and the crème de la crème of life.
