 Roots of a Woman is a powerful collection of poetry by Nana Yaa Yeboaa that explores identity, memory, ancestry, and the quiet strength of womanhood. Through reflective and lyrical verses, the poems trace the emotional and cultural roots that shape a woman’s life. Drawing from personal experience and African diasporic heritage, the collection honors the voices of mothers, daughters, and ancestors, reminding readers that every woman carries within her a history of courage, wisdom, and becoming.
