N. Amma Twum-Baah is editor of AFRIKAN GODDESS MAGAZINE. She is passionate about bringing the work of ordinary African women to the global world stage through her editorial work. She has spent the last 5 years of her writing career telling their stories of struggle and great achievements. To date, she has narrated and written the stories of over 50 women across the African continent and beyond its borders, including Betty Makoni, Floriane Robins Brown, Noella Coursaris, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and others. Her hope is that these stories will not only serve as a source of inspiration for women everywhere, but that they will also raise high the image of the African woman everywhere. Over the years, Afrikan Goddess has seen many transformations under Amma's capable direction and leadership - it now boasts of three brands: Afrikan Goddess Magazine, Afrikan Goddess Awards, and Afrikan Goddess Publishing (Writing and Editing Services).

Two things immediately came to mind: first, healthy self-love involves a personal journey of acceptance; and second, healthy self-love should ideally lead a person to want to share more love with others.
