Gladys Casely-Hayford

Gladys May Casely-Hayford ''alias'' Aquah Laluah (11 May 1904 in Axim – October 1950 in Freetown) was a Sierra Leonean writer, daughter of Adelaide Casely-Hayford. She started the Krio language literature.〔(Cary Nelson, "Gladys May Casely-Hayford (Aquah LaLuah) (1904–1950)", ''Modern American Poetry''. )〕
She studied in Ghana and Wales, danced with a Berlin jazz band, and returning to Africa taught at her mother's Girls' Vocational School in Freetown. Her first poems were published in the ''Atlantic Monthly'' and ''The Philadelphia Tribune''. Her poetry has been widely anthologized.〔See Countee Cullen, ed., ''Caroling Dusk: An Anthology of Verse by Negro Poets'', 1927; Langston Hughes, ed., ''Poetry of the Negro World'', 1949; ''African Treasury'', 1960; ''Poems from Black Africa'', 1963; Langston Hughes and Christiane Reynault, eds, ''Antologie Africaine et Malgache''; Margaret Busby, ed., ''Daughters of Africa'', 1992.〕
==Early life and career==
Gladys was born in Axim, Gold Coast (Ghana), West Africa, on 11 May 1904. As a child, known then as Aquah LaLuah, she did not like textbooks or arithmetic but was a voracious little reader, devouring Kingsley's ''Heroes'' from cover to cover at the age of seven. She could sing, dance, and write poetry at an early age. Due to her upbringing she could speak fluent English, Creole, and Fante (the language of her father). She had her primary and secondary school education in Ghana and went to Penrhos College, Colwyn Bay in Wales, after turning down two other competitive colleges that wanted her for her talented writing. Gladys stopped her education there and traveled with a Berlin jazz band as a dancer. She stayed with them for a long time, but started having breakdowns and had to go home. Back home in Africa, she taught at her mother's Girls' Vocational School in Freetown.
