Offer Description

Shining Ever Brighter: A True Story of Resilience, Faith, and a Journey from Poverty to PhD by Christiana Asantewaa Okyere Folson is an inspiring memoir that chronicles a young Ghanaian girl's transformation from adversity to academic and spiritual triumph.
Born into modest beginnings as one of seven children to semi-literate parents, Asantewaa's life took a drastic turn when her father’s stable job came to an end. What followed was over a decade of economic hardship, housing instability, and emotional struggle. Yet, through it all, she and her siblings clung to the power of faith, perseverance, and education as their way forward.
This captivating memoir follows Asantewaa's determined journey—from hunger and hopelessness in the streets of Accra to winning a fully funded scholarship for a PhD in Canada. Her story is one of divine restoration, inner strength, and unwavering belief in the power of possibility.
✨ A testimony of God’s faithfulness through life's darkest valleys
✨ A beacon of hope for youth, women, and families navigating poverty
✨ A motivational story for students and academics across Africa and beyond
Key Highlights

• Explores themes of faith, education, gender, and mental resilience
