Jaja's African Hair Braiding
Written by Jocelyn Bioh
Dir. Whitney White
Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, 2023
This dazzling world premiere welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling hair braiding shop in Harlem where every day, a lively and eclectic group of West African immigrant hair braiders are creating masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. During one sweltering summer day, love will blossom, dreams will flourish and secrets will be revealed. The uncertainty of their circumstances simmers below the surface of their lives and when it boils over, it forces this tight-knit community to confront what it means to be an outsider on the edge of the place they call home.

Underrated actors who should start receiving flowers in 2024:
Teyonah Parris (in a million things delivering great performances yet somehow not a household name?? still the most famous person on this list, I’m aware)
Nana Mensah (incredible actor, writer, director. unsung)
Kaniehtiio Horn (charisma out the wazoo. will be a star if I have to take all of hollywood hostage to make it happen)
Sakura Ando (unacknowledged for Shoplifters, better be acknowledged for Monster or else)
Sasha Lane (forgotten too quickly, still doing amazing work)
Roberta Colindrez (has been toeing the threshold to superstardom for years in my opinion)

The Diplomat: Season 1 – TV Review
TL;DR – This is a delightfully amusing show for one delving into such topical stories. Like if The West Wing met Utopia by way of The Crown.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 4 out of 5.
Disclosure – I paid for the Netflix service that viewed this series
The Diplomat Review –
In a former life, I got very much down the rabbit hole of the world of international affairs. While that is now deep in the past, it is…

Queen of Glory
Queen of Glory [trailer]
Ghanaian-American Sarah is all set to abandon her Ivy League doctoral program to follow her married lover across the country when her mother suddenly passes away. She inherits a small Christian bookstore serving a Ghanaian immigrant community in the Bronx.
Despite it's short running time, the movie tells a moving, full story. Sincere, but also with a lot of humour. An impressive debut by Nana Mensah.
Focuses on a side of New York that I know about in theory. But one that is rarely shown in films.

‘Queen of Glory’ Review: Back to the Bronx
In the writer-director Nana Mensah’s amusing and astute feature debut, a death forces a reckoning for a brainy young Ghanaian-American living in both worlds.
By Lisa Kennedy
July 14, 2022
Molecular neuro-oncologist Sarah Obeng is very smart. But in the subtle delight “Queen of Glory” — written and directed by its lead actor, Nana Mensah — the American daughter of Ghanaian parents can be foolish, too. Take her married boyfriend and university colleague, Lyle (Adam Leon): He’s simply not worthy.
Sarah is organizing their relocation to his next job when she learns of her mother’s death. Now she must decamp from Manhattan’s Upper West Side to the Bronx to plan her mother’s funeral, deal with her father (Oberon K.A. Adjepong) and decide what to do with her mother’s home, her Christian bookstore and the store’s grateful employee, Pitt (Meeko Gattuso). Pitt especially gladdens as the former inmate with the face tattoos and creative side gig.
The child of Ghanaian parents herself, Mensah traverses the polyglot turf well, infusing details with astute affection and understated laughs. Even the occasional slapstick proves more sweet than silly.

Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku Commissions Kwawprow Lorry Station and Renovated CHIP Compound
New Post has been published on https://plugzafrica.com/dr-kwamena-minta-nyarku-commissions-kwawprow-lorry-station-and-renovated-chip-compound/
Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku Commissions Kwawprow Lorry Station and Renovated CHIP Compound
The member of parliament for Cape Coast North Constituency, Hon Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku has commissioned a newly built Taxi Station and a renovated Chip Compound at Kwawprow community.
Ragga, as he is affectionately called, said these are part of his larger vision and quest to support infrastructural projects for his constituents. In a short ceremony held on Saturday, 3rd February 2024, at Kwaprow Taxi Station, the Member of Parliament, together with the Chief of Kwaprow, Nana Kwesi Mensah III commissioned the projects.
The Cape Coast North Member of Parliament speaking at the function narrated that the land in question was for his friend. “I had to speak to him personally that the community needed to use the land for the construction of a market and a lorry station, and he has to relinquish it to the community,” he said.
Dr Kwamena Minta Nyarku recounted the numerous developmental projects the NDC has done including Kwaprow Primary School built in 1996, Electricity by Lawyer Barton Oduro in 2000, Kwaprow Community Centre, Kwaprow Chips Compound, Kwaprow Road to Ankaful, Water project Extension by Dennis in 2015/16, Kwaprow main road was started by NDC in 2016 and Hon. Minta Nyarku lobbied for its completion.
Ragga underscored what he had done within his 3 years in office as his initiatives for which Kwawprow has benefited immensely. These include desks for all the basic schools, over 10 streetlights, 32 Wellington boots, school fees support, clearing of dumpsite area, beneficiary of MP’s first 3 months pay and beneficiary of MP’s Xmas support.
Again, he said Kwawprow has also benefited from Sewing machines for the UCC chapter, Entrepreneurship training programmes (biodigester, liquid soap and detergent production, etc), support for women’s programmes, 1 jersey and 1 football to support the youth gala, support for Kwaprow festival. “Today, we are witnessing the renovation of the CHIPS compound (to improve primary health care delivery in the community) and the commissioning of the new Kwawprow lorry station. He also donated some streetlights to illuminate the new station and the renovated Chps compound.
“All I can say to the chiefs and people of Kwawprow is to remember me in their prayers to enable me to contribute my quota towards the fulfilment of all outstanding projects within the community and across the constituency”, stated Ragga
The Vice Chair of the Kwawprow Cooperative Drivers Association, Mr. Frederick Edusah hinted that they are very elated that their demand to their honourable MP has been fulfilled, and for that, they are very grateful. “Indeed, we never expected this to materialise at this time and as such on behalf of my chair and the members of the association, I can only say God bless him and we cannot forget him when the need arises”, stated the Vice Chair of the association.
The New Patriotic Party representative of Kwawprow, Mr. Kwesi Essoun revealed that times have changed, and they are here to support the good work done by Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku. “I can not say he hasn’t done anything because that would make me appear very ungrateful. I can only commend the MP for what he has done for the community, “he shared.
Nana Kwesi Mensah III, Odikro of Kwawpro sharing his views about the MP’s initiative, avered that he is someone who loves development and he had to go through a lot of hustle with the help of the MP, the land owner agreed to give the land to the community for the taxi station and market projects.
He, however, added that the work done is for the whole community, and he wouldn’t entertain any partisan approach towards its management stressing. “I’m very sure the community would remember him when the time comes. The station is for the whole community, but the drivers would be the most beneficiaries, and I urge them to develop the culture of maintenance for the station to serve its purpose”, Nana Mensah emphasised.
Nana Kwesi Mensah III was accompanied by Queen of Kwawprow, Ohenbaa Afoa and Nana Nkwanta Otuba III, Kwawprow Sarki, Kwawprow Tufuhen, the linguists and some elders of the community and other inhabitants were present to grace the occasion.
The National Democratic Congress party was represented by the Constituency women organiser, Constituency Communications Officer, some other Constituency Executives, ward Coordinators, Branch Executives, the Cape Coast South Communication Officer and some party members were present.
