Joan, the African White Woman

by Kojo Busia, January 24, 2003

Joan was an African – at heart

She spoke like an African – softly and musically

She walked like an African – slowly and elegantly

She danced like an African – musically and rhythmically

She loved like an African – she had a large family and loved everyone

She lived like an African – every day was s gift for Joan; never missing a smile on her face

She died as an African – with her loved ones from all over the world coming to see her in her last days

May her golden African soul continue to shine throughout the continent
