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.
