The heroine of Maya and the New Africa Movement.
The studio
The people of Maya and the New Africa Movement, painted.
I hand-paint portraits of the characters from my book as I see them on the page — full of color, feeling, and their own particular ways of moving through the world.
Kenyatta
Maya's husband — the company man who works too hard.
Damian
Captain of the ship that sails to West Africa, and Maya's friend.
Morgan
Maya's older sister — spicy, feisty, opinionated and flirty.
Jordan
The lawyer, and Maya's bestie.
Chloe
The boss's daughter, who works with Kenyatta.
Kofi
The Ghanaian businessman who has his eyes on Jordan.
