Global Pluralism Awards - Deborah Ahenkorah, Winner of the Global Pluralism Award
Following the 2019 Global Pluralism Awards Ceremony, I had the opportunity to sit down with award winner Deborah Ahenkorah who was recognized for her commitment to using diversity as a tool to usher in peace and inclusiveness in her community and abroad.
Deborah Ahenkorah is a social entrepreneur and children’s book publisher who co-founded Golden Baobab to empower African writers and illustrators to tell African children’s stories. She advocates for more representative children’s literature, helping readers access accurate portrayals of Africa produced by Africans. Golden Baobab offers the world’s only prize celebrating African writers and illustrators. Ahenkorah also created African Bureau Stories, a children’s publishing house.
