Yowome Williams

From high school teacher to homeschooling mom to cultural storyteller, Yowome Williams has been passionate about nurturing young minds through an African lens.

Her deep connection to her African heritage blossomed during childhood trips to Ghana’s Volta Region, and today, she shares that love of cultural immersion with her son—through travel, stories, and shared discovery across the African continent. Her desire is to carry along many more young ones on their adventures through immersive storytelling.

Easter Along the River is her debut novel, a joyous tribute to Ewe heritage — a richly woven tale featuring sibling adventures, rich traditions, personal growth, and historical resonance. Crafted for readers aged 8–16, the story invites them to journey through Ghana’s Volta Region, where sumptuous food, a festive river crossing, local customs, and familial bonds come to life in a beautifully grounded narrative.
