About the Book

CREATIVE WRITING / STORYTELLING NahNah Binyah's Talking Sweet Potatoes is a delightful friends and family story. Gather 'round for story time, assign the reading aloud parts and let the drama begin! Quashee Alice Accra (a.k.a. Gullah Quashee) is J'miah Nabawi's alter ego. Dedicating the story to his family of "delicious sweet potato pie makers" and Gullah/Geechee kin, NahNah Binyah's Talking Sweet Potatoes is another one of J'miah's use of "inventive arts integration of language, play, and cultural heritage." Reflective of his brand of storytelling, NahNah Binyah's Talking Sweet Potatoes is upbeat, language-rich cultural diversity that introduces readers to the Gullah language, also called Sea Island Creole, is a creole language spoken by the Gullah/Geechee people, an African-American population living on the Sea Islands and in the coastal regions of South Carolina, Georgia and northeast Florida. NahNah Binyah's Talking Sweet Potatoes pay homage to J'miah's paternal grandmother's Gullah/Geechee and Ghanaian roots and is a journey into the community of advocates intent on preserving the unique language known as "Gullah" and maintaining Gullah/Geechee folkways, history and cultural heritage. Throughout the story are several collective works by various visual artists, J'miah Nabawi's way of supporting artists and promoting obscure and/or lesser known works and artists through his book covers, illustrations, blog posts and monetary donations. (Learn more about Gullah and Gullah/Geechee cultural heritage at gullahgeecheenation.com and via online searches: Gullah/Geechee references, South Carolina and Georgia, Southeastern United States.) Now, let's check in on NahNah Binyah. Enjoy! Books for Growing Minds "Hey chile! How oona fuh do? Fuh sho! Uh hab de pie done mek! said NahNah Binyah in her rapid-fire Gullah. "O' me, O' me, O' me, O' my. Uh wan sum sweeeet tatuh pie! O' me, O' me, O' me, O' my. Uh wan sum sweeeet tatuh pie!" sang NahNah Binyah.
About the Author: A native of Philadelphia (PA), J'miah Nabawi's storytelling career was inspired by the legendary Mandinka Griot (Djeli), Djeliba Djimo Kouyate. Soon after experiencing Djeli Kouyate at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, J'miah visited Please Touch Museum and caught the act of Linda Goss (Mama Linda Goss), best-selling author and the "Official Storyteller of Philadelphia." It was the befriending of Ms. Goss that would eventually lead to mentoring J'miah onto the path of professional storytelling and developing the brand of performance for which he is known today. J'miah's upbeat storytelling reflects the story-dance-musical drama of Africa and its Diaspora. "Mr. Nabawi is one of Savannah's most visible and favored storytellers. He has been the community's choice for various festivities, with no barriers on race, ethnicity, or age. Whether it is through the Live Oak Public Libraries, The Telfair Museum, local churches, schools, universities, the leadership and service that he continues to provide through his profession is legendary here amongst Savannahians." Dr. Otis S. Johnson, Former Mayor of Savannah, GA "The students at Jasper Elementary love J'miah. (The teachers at our school find him to be a full partner in curricular planning and implementation of lessons and units.) J'miah can tell stories, write and direct plays that are performed school-wide, teach small groups and make children laugh and smile. If he had a cape, he could fly . . . at least the children think so." -- Dr. Kathleen Thompson, Retired Arts Educator/Director of Cultural Projects (Georgia Council for the Arts) J'miah is an esteemed recipient of the National Storytelling Network's (Jonesborough, TN) "ORACLE Award for Outstanding Service and Leadership, Southeast Region for his exemplary leadership to his community through storytelling." The Elijah Agency "J'miah's work passes on tradition, teaches language and helps develop a love for storytelling. . . ." Judy Strong, Retired Youth Services Coordinator, Live Oak Public Libraries, Savannah, GA Learn more about the author at www.jmiahnabawi.com
