WASHINGTON, June 17, 2024 — Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey, a distinguished Ghanaian American political journalist and advocate, announces the forthcoming release of his highly anticipated memoir, “Kamala, The Motherland, and Me”—the first literary work to profile America’s historic first Black woman Vice President on a historic journey to Africa.

Scheduled for publication on July 23, 2024, this captivating memoir promises to challenge assumptions, inspire change, and offer a fresh perspective on U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, the continent of Africa and the power that comes with being the first Black-American to serve as Vice President of the United States.

With visits to Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia, “Kamala, The Motherland, and Me” chronicles Dr. Quartey’s remarkable journey aboard Air Force Two covering Vice President Harris during her nine-day visit to the continent of Africa. Through personal anecdotes, astute political analysis, and transparent narrative, Dr. Quartey invites readers to delve into Vice President Harris’s leadership, disrupt commonly held myths about Africa’s global significance, and explore the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality.

In this memoir, Dr. Quartey provides unique insights into pressing social and economic issues, human rights discussions, the complexities of Black identity and connection to the African Diaspora. He challenges readers to reconsider preconceptions, engage in critical examination of media representation and envision a more equitable future for all.

Dr. Quartey’s personal narrative, coupled with his experience in journalism and advocacy, offers readers an opportunity to embrace diversity, challenge assumptions and inspire positive change in society. Beyond that, this memoir is the first book to profile America’s first and only Black woman Vice President on the world stage.
