Episode out now: Foriwa by Efua Sutherland

If you’re looking for a story about a small community and love akin to Our Town...

consider this play about how an overlooked outsider and two powerful women can shake a community out of a slump. Set in a small Ghanaian village, a love story emerges, challenging the town to reconcile tradition with modernity. Relatable across the globe, this sweet yet brave look into a slice of Ghanaian life shows what it takes to rebuild a community — hope, courage, and open hearts.

Bonus Episode: Awoye Timpo talks to us about Foriwa
