What was the inspiration behind it?
I took a trip to Ghana last summer and spent a few weeks living in Accra. Virgil’s family moved from Ghana and even though it was a coincidence rather than part of the decision to go, I felt a lot of similarities between my view of the country and the roots he cherished and constantly referred to in his work. I was born in Sierra Leone, and eventually grew up in London, but our experiences were similar. I have vivid memories of what America, and New York in particular, represented in the collective imagination of Africans: a dreamland of utopias made real, a place of opportunities.
