The Full Story

About Hawa Who

Welcome to my corner of the literary world! I’m Hawa Who, a writer deeply influenced by the rich tapestry of my life and surroundings. Originally from the vibrant country of Ghana and specifically from the Hausa Culture, I embarked on a new journey when I moved to the USA at the age of 12. My early years in New York City exposed me to the hustle and diversity of urban life, shaping my perspectives and storytelling.

​

My writing is a reflection of my experiences and the diverse environments I've encountered. I find inspiration in human nature and the world around me, weaving these elements into my narratives. Through my debut book, Petals of My Heart, I invite you to explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with me. Thank you for joining me on this literary journey.
