Gladys Nana Ama Essel is a Ghanaian storyteller, student, and dreamer whose writing is inspired by the everyday strength, love, and resilience found in African families. She believes stories are bridges - connecting hearts through emotion, culture, and truth.
Currently pursuing a Master's degree in Finance and Economics at West Texas A&M University, Gladys balances her academic life with her passion for storytelling, leadership, and creative expression.
Her debut Wattpad story, "A Mother's One Cedi," is a deeply emotional tale about sacrifice, family, and the kind of love that endures even in the hardest times. Through Daniel's journey, Gladys reminds readers that even the smallest acts of love - a single cedi, a prayer, a promise - can carry the weight of an entire world.
✨"I write to heal, to remember, and to give voice to stories that deserve to be felt."
