Akua is Great is about a young girl's journey of learning about our identity and heritage. Each night, her mother shares a bedtime story concluding with a delightful list of affirmations. Akua waits excitedly to name the affirmations one by one. Her mother joins in, connecting each affirmation with an inspiring role model who has made a difference in the world. With each affirmation, Akua is reminded of her greatness.
