This is the real African mother and when you visit her house, you will enjoy all the cooking and stories.

[@akosuaagyeman8218]

We all have to make her famous....such an asset

[@thabisomaluleka4162]

totally agree

[@nwachukwuohameje8570]

Mama Ata Aidoo is a indeed a rare gem and rock, an icon, mentor, legend, Pan-Africanist, and many more to mention. I so much appreciate your contributions to Africa and the entire global community.

[@vibesbynae4860]

Her children must be soooo proud , just seeing their humble ,wise loving mother being recognised by intellects and audiences around the world 🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@goldfinger4967]

I haven't read any of her works...but I'm going to now. Intellectual and funny. Totally enjoyed this.

[@aubreybraithwaite1155]

It was like listening to my grandmother who raised me. My rapt attention was held by her oratory skill and cleverness. Her unique style of humor, delivered mostly in historical African context, makes me want more. I am a now a fan and will be supporting her. You should too.

[@nikitantuma5596]

Listen to mama Ama Ata Aidoo is refreshing. She invites you to listen to her and she is always comfortable. I am amazed by her.

[@kimlee7260]

She's a truth teller mother Africa

[@graceeasmon2048]

She is such an inspiration to women. I am very proud to have attended the same school she did. An old girl.

[@BabyGirl-nb9kk]

I love this lady she speak the truth

[@royexcellentalexander8308]

Never heard of this great African woman before and I'm 70yrs old from the islands why? Where was this woman all the time been a pleasure to follow up her uploads and her daring history..

[@Esi153]

She went to Wesley Girls High School with my mother. She was a little older, but apparently, she my mother and another girl used to put their monthly allowance together and use it to buy food and essentials to share. That warms my heart.

[@Esi153]

@Cohen Davis I can tell you that this is true. My mother is in her late seventies and she is from Cape Coast Ghana, originally. They were at the same school, but not in the same year. My mother told me the story years ago and I remembered and called her. We had a lovely chat about it. You don't have to believe me for it to be true. You also don't have to be so rude.

[@abduljalilmahama5682]

@Cohen Davis dont be rude

[@abduljalilmahama5682]

@Cohen Davis apologies accepted

[@Nana-ur7nh]

That sounds so cool.

Am a Kenyan from central. I will not accept that important name "THIONG'O " to be wrongly pronounced by you the host because of don't care altitude. Study kikuyu language and kindly pronounce African names appropriately

[@theempressdesha]

No personality my goodness or she just nervous? What’s going on? She needs more preparing and practice they chose her for a reason. Goodie I know you can do better

[@theempressdesha]

The lady in black interviewing AMA

[@piarants3958]

😂😂😂😴😴😴 ruined the interview

[@sixpac20032010]

Empress I agree with you, The introduction is too long, Shes nervous because, Theirs probably a majority white Audience, In uk black people act different in the presence of white people.

[@peacheskong2245]

@@sixpac20032010 stop that. why are you projecting inferiority on her like that? She's obviously very very nervous, stage fright is real. Black people in the UK are NOT immune to that.

[@bl00dhoney]

Her name is Wangui Wa Goro - GOOGLE HER. when you've accomplished what she has - come back and let us know.
