Remember during episode 9 of season 2, Jenny, Abbie\u2019s rebellious sister, recites a spell to save her. Well guess what? What she recited was not gibbrish, it was actually in my language, Twi (Spoken in Ghana by the Akan tribe!!)<\/p>\n\n\n

Now before I go deep into what troubled me, let me let you listen to it first and I will tell you what she said. (Lindie Greenwood speaks Twi)
