Some of Mama Afrika's Friends:
.


Here are the stories of a few of Mama Afrika's friends from around the continent. They are real women with real dreams and hopes for their future and the future of their nations. They are mothers, grandmothers, sisters and friends. And above all they are artists and the backbones of their villages and nations.

Mama sincerely hopes that you will enjoy getting to know them and that their stories will inspire you...

Mrs Amopoaka Atule of Bolgatanga, Ghana-- Specializes in weaving basketry

Ms. Janet Akii-Bua of Kampala, Uganda-- One of Africa's hot up-and-coming artists (paintings and sculptures)
