Better Than My Father
By Olivia Yawa Adiku

Yaa was born into a world where her father's presence was a shadow, and her mother's strength was the only light.
In a Ghanaian household marked by hardship, she rises from the weight of abandonment to become a beacon of hope.
Raised by a mother who played both roles-father and mother-Yawa's journey is one of resilience, identity, and breaking generational cycles.
From candlelit studies to university halls, from whispered tears to bold declarations, this is the story of a girl who chose to be better.
Not just for herself, but for everyone who came after.

✨ A powerful four-part story of courage, healing, and becoming the legacy your parents never imagined.

PEACE FOUND. by zarahhhh_m

Aisha grew up longing for a mother's love, but her reality was far from kind. Raised in a household where warmth was scarce and expectations ran high, her mother's harsh words and cold heart left scars deeper than anyone could see. Every dream Aisha held onto-of education, of freedom, of a life she could choose-was dismissed, crushed under the weight of tradition and control. When Aisha is forced into an arranged marriage with Bashir, a man she has never met, her world feels like it's collapsing again. All she sees is another prison, another chapter written without her consent. But Bashir isn't what she expected. Gentle, patient, and quietly understanding, he sees the pain she tries to hide and offers her something she's never truly known-respect. As time passes, Aisha begins to question everything she believed about love, marriage, and herself. In the most unlikely place, she finds not just safety, but the beginning of healing. Aisha's Promise is a powerful story of resilience, love found in unexpected places, and the courage to rewrite your destiny-even when the world tries to write it for you.
