Biography
A Healer. Nomad. Serial Entrepreneur. Student of Life. Voice of the Underdog.
I can use many words to describe me and my life, but BORING ain’t one of ’em!
Forty-five years on this Earth, and I have met the most amazing people the world may never get to know – until now.
Hi, I’m Jamie Yvette Hopkins, also known as Ama (my West African name) or Afrikana (my pen name). Over the years, I’ve collected stories, learned extremely challenging life lessons, overcome more trauma, and sacrificed many relationships for the sake of sanity. Yeah, I got a LOT to say and a LOT to share. My prayer is that you take something, learn from it, improve it, then reproduce it. It’s all healing my friends!
Welcome!

I never knew how much I loved to travel, until I left the United States of America! My very first international trip was to Kenya, East Africa. Well, since then, I’ve traveled many other beautiful places and met the kindest people. It gave me hope, there is still good in the world. Here is a collection of my travel stories from my very own camera! It’s my private collection 🙂
