Penelope Jones-Mensah Esq reveals book cover  "She Rose"  

Renowned Ghanaian lawyer, women and children’s rights advocate and former beauty queen, Princess Penelope Jones-Mensah who turned 51 on 21st July 2023 has unveiled the cover of her book, "She Rose".

‘She Rose’ is an anthology of fifty empowering stories of grit and grace by fifty outstanding women leaders from different parts of the world.
 
The book features some renowned women including; technology icon Angela Kyeremanteng-Jimoh, celebrated Nigerian actress and philanthropist Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Menaye Donkor, Claudia Lumor, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, special aide to former President John Mahama and the deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana, Elsie Addo Awadzi. The foreword is written by former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
 
The cover of the book itself speaks volumes. It's the powerful vision of a strikingly beautiful darkened face of the  enigmatic mother of three, painted with gold cracks (suggesting the japanese art of kintsugi) and a red rose.
 
The book was heralded with this equally powerful poem on her page 
 
She Rose, On countless occasions, Every occasion, The days we wilt inside, Because life can be cruel
The moments we dance on air
Because our joy infects the world, Sheroes, they rose, When cowering makes the greatest comfort
They rose, When inaction is safest
She Rose, Testing the mettle of greatness, Because settling, 
Embracing mediocrity,In a world of possibilities, Makes our world so small, Our dreams so insignificant
So we rise, Stepping up with grit and grace, As She Rose, In majestic pose, To remake the world and 
Our gift to ourselves
 
Our appetite is whetted. We can't wait to read the stories of resilience, struggles and triumphs of these 50 phenomenal women from around the world and we commend Penelope for this enthralling literary piece.
