\nMaame has many meaning s in Twi but in my case\, it means woman. It's fair to say that Maddie's l ife in London is far from rewarding. With a mother who spends most of her time in Ghana (yet still somehow manages to be overbearing)\, Maddie is th e primary caretaker for her father\, who suffers from advanced stage Parki nson's. At work\, her boss is a nightmare and Maddie is tired of always be ing the only Black person in every meeting. When her mum returns from her latest trip to Ghana\, Maddie leaps at the chance to get out of the family home and finally start living. A self-acknowledged late bloomer\, she's r eady to experience some important "firsts": She finds a flat share\, says yes to after-work drinks\, pushes for more recognition in her career\, and throws herself into the bewildering world of internet dating. But it's no t long before tragedy strikes\, forcing Maddie to face the true nature of her unconventional family\, and the perils--and rewards--of putting her he art on the line.
