Colourism – The Brown Paper Bag Blows about in Accra

This week, we will explore something of the concept of the brown paper bag in Accra. I do not have to explain the brown paper bag test, do I? It is quite a dangerous topic, but that is why I am so excited about exploring it with you.

  1. This topic cannot be explored enough imho. As much as people like to pretend, colourism is alive and well in Ghana.

    No one should be discriminated against based on some colour test. Please go with what is in the coconut upstairs. We have a serious lack of skills already, not to talk of other self-inflicted problems.
