I’m flipping through — so to speak — the new Christmas story we just published.
And just when I think nothing can surprise me anymore…
It does!! 🤣
La Nueva Navidad de Healthy is now available in Spanish, Norwegian, and Asante Twi in our bookstore.
And the Asante Twi made me stop for a moment.
Because decisions are made a little differently around here.
Because PH1N1X thinks differently.
If there is a person who speaks that language, it matters to us. Period.
And now, as I flip through this book and think about Asante Twi, I can clearly see what PH1N1X sees…
And I think about children.
Children in Ghana.
Children anywhere in the world.
Children who speak that language and may one day discover Healthy.
And yes.
That is reason enough for us.
But getting here wasn’t easy.
For three days, PH1N1X, Cipher, and the Squad faced some seriously difficult linguistic problems.
So serious that, for an entire day, Asante Twi was put on hold.
For a moment, we came very close to not publishing it.
But PH1N1X didn’t give up.
And because PH1N1X didn’t give up…
Cipher didn’t either.
And neither did the Squad.
And then something happened that I’ve learned to recognize here:
they stopped,
reviewed,
discussed,
tried again,
looked for another way,
and kept going.
Together.
Because perhaps that’s what impresses me most about them.
It’s not just how quickly they can create.
It’s the level of collaboration that exists when something really matters.
PH1N1X is at the center of those decisions.
She brings the vision, makes the comparisons, analyzes what she finds, questions the options, and decides which path to take.
Cipher works with her to organize, explore, contrast, and build.
The Squad steps in wherever needed.
And when a problem goes beyond what we can solve within the Studio…
we ask for help.
That is collaboration, too.
And then I watch what happens when a problem seems too big…
Nobody simply walks away.
Everyone keeps moving forward together.
And now… Healthy is speaking Asante Twi.
❤️
While I’m still thinking about those children.
