My Story
I started my journey as a young caregiver, discovering quickly that children have a way of opening our hearts, teaching us patience, and showing us what truly matters. My years as a nanny and teacher shaped me in ways I’ll always cherish — and those experiences bloomed into my writing.
Moving from London to Philadelphia as an immigrant was a turning point. It was the city that embraced me, and where I found my place in the world of caregiving and education. The families I cared for changed my life and continue to inspire everything I create.
My Purpose
My mission is simple:
To lift up children, honor their voices, and celebrate the beautiful work of caregivers, parents, and educators.
Through books, storytelling, and my podcast Heart-to-Heart with Abagaba, I want to encourage wonder, connection, and compassion — the things children teach us every day.
Heart-to-Heart with Abagaba
A celebration of children, caregiving, and the small, sacred lessons found in the classroom and playroom alike. This reflection reminds us that every shared moment — from laughter to learning — shapes the heart of both child and caregiver.
My Mom's Incredible Voice
A Memoir of Honoring My Parents
A deeply personal story of family, legacy, and gratitude. Through words and memory, I honor the voices that guided me, and the enduring love that continues to inspire my work and my heart.

Beyond the Books
I love connecting with communities through:
• School and library visits
• Read-aloud sessions
• Preschool and daycare storytime
• Parenting and caregiver conversations
• Author panels and podcast guest features
If your school, library, or organization would love a warm, heart-centered visit, I’d be honored to connect.

A Little More About Me​
Ghana has shaped my storytelling roots.
• I’m most at peace with a cup of tea and a child’s laughter nearby.
• I’m happiest when creating something that lights up a child’s imagination.
• I believe every child deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
