Boakyewaa Glover

Boakyewaa Glover was born on April 27, 1979 in Accra, Ghana.

Boakyewaa’s mother, Abena, is a Management Consultant and her father, James Amoako, was a renowned lawyer and writer. Boakyewaa is the middle child with an older brother Nana Kofi and a younger brother Nana Akuoko. Boakyewaa also grew up with her uncle Bernard and aunt Wendy.

Boakyewaa discovered her love for writing and books at a very early age. Her grandfather, Air Marshall M.A. Otu, run a computer paper production company, so Boakyewaa had access to an unending supply of reams of paper. She wrote constantly, leaving batches of paper all over the home as she started and ended stories faster than anyone in the house could clean.

Boakyewaa also enjoyed academic pursuits, and through primary and secondary school, she racked up the As, prizes and awards. She was also very active socially, leading the Writers & Debators Club as President, and Vice President of the Drama Club.

Boakyewaa’s writing continued through school, as she penned plays and poems that were performed at school and community events. Her first full-length book, Basic Reality, was written when she was 16 years old, followed by Crazy, Sexy, Cool. Both books are currently serialized on Boakyewaa’s blog.

Boakyewaa’s first job after secondary school was as host/presenter for the premier entertainment show at the time – Smash TV. She worked on the show for almost four years, even during her time at the University of Ghana studying psychology and social studies. Boakyewaa also write the scripts for S-Class, a TV show that aired for one season on GTV.

After graduating from the University of Ghana with first-class honors, Boakyewaa worked abroad in the UK for about a year. She returned to Ghana and snagged a job as a Broadcast Journalist/News Anchor at TV3 Network. She also worked at a management consulting firm, juggling both jobs successfully for almost two years.

Boakyewaa won a scholarship to attend the prestigious New York University (NYU), where she completed her master’s in organizational psychology. Boakyewaa studied and worked in the US for almost six years, and it was during her time in the US that she published Circles (2009—romantic drama), her debut novel and started her popular blog.

After her father’s passing, Boakyewaa moved back to Ghana to be with her mother and the rest of the family.

While working as a Change Management specialist, she published Tendai (2013—science fiction) and The Justice (2013—political thriller).

Boakyewaa was a 2014 finalist for Africa’s Most Influential Women (organized by CEO Communications, South Africa), the 2018 winner for Ghana’s 40 Under 40 Awards (Authorship & Creative Writing category) and a 2020 nominee under the category of English/Literature/Poetry for the prestigious Ghana Millennium Excellence Awards.

Boakyewaa considers herself an avid connoisseur of life, and when she is not taking care of her mother, foster son and dogs, she is watching movies and TV, listening to music, swimming, reading, blogging, and writing short stories, including her COVID-19 romantic drama – Connected, Yet Separated (Full Series) by Boakyewaa Glover. She hopes to resume her lifelong interest in travel soon.

Boakyewaa’s current book project is Commitment. Commitment is a passion project that Boakyewaa hopes to publish someday soon.
