The fourth in our series of conversations with people 75 years and over, our conversation with the musical octogenarian is one that uplifts and serenades.
We speak with Edna Jane Deinyo Soyanwo (EJD). Born on Sunday January 7th, 1934, EJD holds a BA (Dunelm) degree, a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from the University of London, Associate of the Royal College of Music (ARCM) and a Masters in Education from the University of North Wales (Bangor). She has had a long successful teaching career in the UK, Ghana and Nigeria.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Love in G minuet.
- Blooming where you are planted.
- Living in the Empire, loving the Queen and KC3
- Netflix's The Crown.
- 'Ghana Must Go' with nuance (history really does need context).
- Life as a foreigner during the Nigerian civil war.
- SPaG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) - an ode or a dirge?
- The power of relationships, friendships and warmth.
- And yes, Love ALWAYS wins.
This episode absolutely exudes positivity and joy. A truly joyful rom-com.
