Please bear with me as I assume a quasi-formal tone to deliver this message.I’m writing this because two days ago, the Ghana Witches Association (GWA) sent me a rather distressful message that they need a break.

A fictional character who goes by the name Shao Kahn in a Ghanaian parody of the Mortal Kombat (Anderson 1995) movie makes his villainy painfully clear by saying, “I don’t want peace. I want problems, always.”Well, this catchphrase is all over the internet. It’s gone viral for rather apparent reasons. For one, it’s hilarious, dramatic, and memorable.

It had 260 locations across Ghana. In 2019, its licence was sadly revoked for mostly political reasons.I made it to the interview stage.

So, the article is mostly a transcript of Serah’s interview with Emmy Najima, a hairstylist with over two decades of experience in African braiding hairstyles.Serah says, “Emmy uses her skills to advocate for self-love and solidarity within the Afro-textured hair community in Japan, simultaneously demolishin...Wed, 04 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0100https://medium.com/the-springboard/is-self-hate-and-cultural-cringe-discriminatory-3cc99939e5f1https://medium.com/the-springboard/im-not-a-husband-material-yet-but-i-m-fling-worthy-cf5d5811bbc2I always picture myself approaching a beautiful young Ghanaian woman.

The reason is it’s rare to meet a West African writer.For some people, it’s their first time hearing the word, “Ghanaian.” It’s perfectly understandable. I’m lucky I don’t forget to add “writer.” Most people may think “Ghanaian” is a job title. “Yoofi, I’m happy you’re now writing on the platform.
