The State Department has just invited me to Ghana in order to attend the 16th International African Writers’ Day Celebrations organized by the Pan African Writers' Association (PAWA)! The festivities will take place over the first week of November. I almost declined the invitation because I didn't want to miss the election. But then I found out that there will be an open house at the US Embassy in Accra. (And don't worry. I have taken care of my absentee ballot.) I am so thrilled and I promise to take lots of pictures and blog my little heart out!

Wait a minute. YOU WERE INVITED TO THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN GHANA?! Ok, it's official, Tayari. You are no longer an "emerging writer." You are now "pre-famous"!!!

Take a gazillion pictures!
