Blog Camp 2013 Baby

My big sister Jemila and I. She's held my hand right from the beginning

Welcome!

Neina’s Memoirs is about anything and everything that drifts into my thoughts. In case, you are wondering, Neina is my middle name which is in Dagbani-a northern Ghanaian dialect. The closest meaning I can give to is ‘it has brightened or something has brightened.’

After years of gentle nudges from my ever-loving sister, Jemila Abdulai of www.circumspecte.com, I have finally started to take baby steps into my blogging journey. My mom tells me I begun to walk at my first birthday party after I saw all the other toddlers walking! By the end of the day, I was a pro...and I haven’t stopped walking since. Alhamdulillah! That is probably what gets me ticking and growing-seeing what others do motivates me. This is the inspiration for Neina’s Memoirs. This is a Blog Camp 2013 baby. After interacting with all those great bloggers from Ghana on the 23^rd of March, 2013 at the Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT and hear them speak with so much enthusiasm about what they do, I could only gather up the courage to get up from my crawling position to start my baby steps without my walker.  So join me on my journey as I begin this exploration. Please don’t hesitate to remind me that it is one foot after the other or to catch me when I stumble. I’ll be more than grateful when you encourage me to stand up after I have bumped my knee because we all need prompts once in a while. I’ll love it if you put a sweet in the distance and encourage me to walk to it. :-) Let’s make this blog as it interactive as possible.

Neina.
