What an absolute pleasure it’s been reading this amazing collection of writing by the wonderful, leading Black feminist, Stella Dadzie. An assortment of poetry, draft and published pieces of creative writing, short stories, speeches photographs and artwork. A Whole Heap of Mix Up, covers mixed heritage identity, politics, Black feminism, activism, family and her travel adventures in Africa, Caribbean and beyond. Stella’s reflections on being of mixed heritage resonated so much with me. As did being a feminist, an educator, traveler and an activist. Where was this when I needed it, growing up as a young woman, figuring out who I was!?! Stella clearly loves life, music, family, Ghana, her activism and her circle of incredible female friends. I loved this from start to finish. Thanks Stella Dadzie for the gift of this collection!
