Afi is in Ankaase, holding a notebook full of evidence no one has asked for. Ama shapes other people's stories into slides that donors will approve. One is too close to the lake to be heard. The other is too far away to speak with authority. Both are being asked to make themselves smaller in the name of something larger.
They will never meet. But they are asking the same question from opposite ends of the world: how much of yourself do you give away before there is nothing left to offer?

Daisy Tanja Scheffler is an activist who has spent years working at the intersection of climate, community, and women's rights across Africa and Europe.
Lyn Birago Kakyire is a teacher and community builder who has spent her career creating what she could not always find: spaces where Black children in Germany are seen, heard, and given language for their own lives.
Together they build bridges between the people who tell the stories and the people the stories are told about.
Afi and Ama are not them. But they are not far off.
