"Just because I'm Black, people assume I'm African without knowing how many nations and languages there are on our continent." Erica has always resisted being told who she should be and how she should live, whether by her African father, her German husbands, or members of the white majority who refuse to acknowledge her ambition and intellect. Erica, the princess from Sierra Leone, is fearless and self-assured. She is proud of her heritage. She has no other choice if she wants to make something of herself in Germany. Her eventful life and family history are among the many unique stories that comprise the global African diaspora.
