About
MaameJ is a single white Aussie mum of anglo-celtic background with a teenage son (ActionMan) whose dad (DadaK) is Ghanaian. DadaK doesn’t live with us and has remarried (to another Ghanaian – Obapaa) and they have more children, whose names etc. I will gradually reveal in this blog.
I’m blogging to share experiences, insights & funny stories about living in a mixed family, and I’m hoping you will share yours too.
Read my first post for more background on why I started Border Crossings.

Thanks for sharing! I maintain a blog called The Link Between: Connecting Christian living between cultures. While part of it’s focus is aimed toward Christians, I also focus a lot on intercultural issues. I’d love to include your blog on my blogroll – shared experiences are so helpful!

Thanks Jody, that would be great if you link to me. So long as you don’t mind that I’m agnostic
I do appreciate that shared faith (or shared lack of faith) is often a crucial factor in keeping couples together, when the differences could pull them apart. I look forward to having a proper browse through your blog, it looks very rich.

No problem at all! I enjoy people of all perspectives working through this culture stuff! (plus I used to be an agnostic myself, so I follow you a bit

Hi, I find your travel tales engrossing. I have passed on your website to my brother’s partner who has a grand trip (who knows when to come), she’s Welsh/English, he’s British born Nigerian. I run an online travel magazine for women Diverse Traveller (www.diversetraveller.com) and wondered if you would be interested in sharing your travel tales with my readers (ola@diversetraveller.com)? I look forward to reading more about your travels. All the best. Ola

Thanks Ola, I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I think it can ony get more interesting from here on in, 3 months in Ghana is going to be a pretty rich experience. I’ve emailed you about diverse traveller.

Hi MaameJ – found your blog and linked it right away. Interesting experiences! As a Canadiam living in Ghana with two boys – one who’s father is Jamaican and the younger one’s dad is Ghanaian – I can relate to all the mixed family stories!
I look forward to reading more.
