​

SitiTalkBlog  - formal launch date - June 30, 2016. 

 

We founded SitiTalkBlog in our modest quest to help the poor, the bruised and battered, and the voiceless. Through the penmanship of SitiTalkBlog authors and social activists, we want the voices of the vulnerable, the exploited and the seemingly forsaken to be heard, and hopefully to help them get justice that they deserve.

 

SitiTalkBlog is focused primarily on Africa's socio-economic and political issues, scientific and medical topics, as well as global current issues and news. SitiTalkBlog also highlights positive entertainment as long as it has the potential to cause us to think and take positive actions. The blog is geared towards sensitizing people to take constructive actions and engineer practical solutions."

​

We invite you to join the dialogue on the never ending challenges of our dearly beloved African continent.

 

We look forward to your participation.

​

Please spread the word…SitiTalkBlog is live!

​

Thanks to all for all your support!!!

The unique writing, motivational and inspirational talent of Dr. Jacyee Johnson is fully expressed in ‘Mikela’, which was inspired by her cultural and medical knowledge of female circumcision (FGM) and the human devastation being caused by prostitution and HIV in Africa.

​

Her literature research knowledge on the effects of female circumcision, FGM, HIV etc., led her to writing ‘Mikela” as well as three short stories of which ‘Sacrifice of Innocence’ in one.  ‘Sacrifice of Innocence’ has been adapted as a screenplay by Uche Aniagolu. A pilot of an Indie short film version has been completed.

In addition, she is in process of completing a new fiction novel, ‘Restless Ravens on Black Gold’. The plot of ‘Restless Raven” is set in the vivid reality of the oil boom times of crude oil ‘Black Gold’ in Nigeria, and the devastating impact of greed and corruption on individual lives.

 

Furthermore, Jacyee writes children’s books and has published two on the Kindle platform: “Akeelah – The Beautiful Peacock” and “Toksie the Cunning “Tortoise and Kanzi the Mountain Dog.”
