"Adjoa, stand up straight!" How many times did I hear that phrase, that song?

In Djougou, for a girl to grow, they place things on her head: coffee, beans, bananas, dreams, jerricans, and even secrets that are hard to keep... And it is with clenched teeth and her head held high, just as she was taught, that Adjoa tells us how each object, each gesture, and feeling has weighed on her—from childhood to adulthood. A story of feminine strength, crafted from poetry and tenderness, showing how objects of pain can be transformed into acts of love.
