    This Is How She'll Tell It by Anna-Maria Poku

    When a young journalist interviews an older Ghanaian woman about the secret to a long and lasting marriage, she expects to hear a story of devotion, compromise and commitment. Instead, Dede tells the story of a different love altogether — a passionate university romance that has lingered in her heart for decades. Set against the backdrop of 1980s Ghana, This Is How She’ll Tell It is a tender and poignant exploration of love, regret, duty and the lives we imagine we might have lived. ----- This episode is part of AFREADA’s audio storytelling pilot, exploring new ways to bring African stories to global audiences.
