AB  - In this brief essay, I return to Ama Ata Aidoo’s (1977) Our Sister Killjoy as an opportunity to reflect on how coloniality structures anti-LGBTQ legislation, cultural opposition, and advocacy for queer rights in Ghana. Reflections from Sissie, the novel’s protagonist, offers a guide for queer organizers, activists, community groups, and allies to divest from Western models of freedom and rights attainment.
