Introduction	I am the director of a little grassroots non-profit called Soul of Somanya, which offers training and employment at a living wage to disadvantaged youth in the Krobo region of Ghana, West Africa. This blog is the more personal version of Soul of Somanya's story. It's less about the organization than it is about my experiences in trying to co-found and run that organization. And it's less about Africa than it is about my admittedly skewed perceptions of Africa, which are, and perhaps always will be, an entirely different thing. Formerly a jewelry artist and writer, I now (with a great deal of help from a lot of generous people) assist the Soul of Somanya artisans in Ghana to design jewelry and to market it throughout the world.
