Firstborn Stories

"A child who listens to the elders does not walk into a trap. You are the First Seed, but even a seed needs the shade of an old tree to grow straight." To the world, Yaw was just another cry in the humid air of Ghana's Ashanti Region. But to his family, he was the First Seed, the bearer of a thousand unfulfilled dreams. Born into a home rich in love but shadowed by biting poverty, Yaw's life becomes a fierce battle for survival, dignity, and purpose. From the bustling, chaotic streets of Madina hawking sachet water under a blistering sun, to hanging off the sides of roaring trotros as a mate, Yaw learns the hard way that pride is a luxury you swallow when you have a family to lift up. Guided by the fierce sacrifice of his mother, his "Woman King" and the timeless ancestral wisdom of his grandmother, he fights to pave a path toward a better future. But just as the light begins to break and his dreams of becoming an educator take root, an unannounced shadow threatens to wash everything away. The Shadows of Life is a raw, deeply moving Ghanaian memoir of resilience, the crushing weight of being the firstborn, and the unbreakable bonds of family. It is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the darkness, a seed's only job is to grow.

A first-born son writes through the weight nobody sees

‘Death is very likely the greatest invention of life.’ STEVE JOBS, THE APPLE CORPORATION. For millennia mankind has searched for the elixir of eternal youth. Science has now brought us to the very brink of this search. Advances already predict that babies born today could live to well over 100 and very shortly to 140 and beyond. This could be the biggest threat to humanity… ever. Imagine this world if only a few select individuals were invited to benefit from this utopian world of eternal youth, wealth and power. This is the world of Primogeniture. – A world where The Firstborn holds power absolute. – A world where the banishment of death becomes the ultimate prize. However, one unlikely individual holds the key. But will he part with his secret? It is said that every man has his price… As the stakes rise – the very future of mankind waivers in the balance.

"Love the sinner, hate the sin" was never a creed Soren could live by, because he was both- had always been both- since before he had a name for what made him wrong. His very existence was a transgression: born of a bargain no one asked him to be part of, raised by hands that called him a mistake before they ever called him a child. He was sin in blood, sin in birth, sin in the magic that ran through him without asking permission. And now, finally free, he intended to be sin in every other sense of the word too.

FOR EVERYONE BUT ME Everyone knows Imani as the girl who can handle anything. The first daughter. The responsible one. The shoulder everyone cries on. The girl who always says yes, even when she desperately wants to say no. She knows how to take care of everyone else. What she doesn't know is how to take care of herself. Behind the smiles, the good grades, and the perfectly handled responsibilities is a girl who can't look in the mirror without finding something to hate. A girl who searches for comfort in other people because she doesn't know how to give it to herself. For years, Imani has convinced herself that if she becomes prettier, stronger, smarter, kinder-better-maybe she'll finally feel like she's enough. But what happens when the comfort she's been depending on disappears? What happens when being the girl everyone needs starts costing her the person she's supposed to become? Maybe Imani doesn't need to become someone new. Maybe she just needs to find the girl she's been leaving behind. Because sometimes, the person you spend your whole life forgetting is yourself.
