Boakyewaa born 27 April 1979 in Accra. She is the daughter of Maame Abena, a management consultant and James Amoako, a renowned lawyer and writer.[1]

During her formative years, Glover developed interest in penning poems which led her to her first full-length book, Basic Reality, written when she was about the age of 16 years. This was followed by Crazy, Sexy, Cool, and Unspoken words.[2]

After completing her tertiary education at the University of Ghana, Glover won a scholarship to study Organisational Psychology at the New York University (NYU).[3] While studying at NYU, she conceived the idea for and published her first book, Circles. Before then, she had been a TV presenter on Smash TV show on Metro TV in Ghana, a Broadcast Journalist/News Anchor at TV3 Network, in Ghana and worked as a management consultant.[4]

The five-year period that followed the launch of her book, Circles, saw the death of her father. While working as a Change Management specialist, she published Tendai (2013, science fiction) and The Justice (2013, political thriller).[5][6][7]
