The first extended play of the Echoes from Faraday project, Bayor, is set to be launched on Saturday, May 18.

Mainly a collection of stories on women's football in Africa, the EP doubles as a celebratory album in honour of the former Black Queens forward, Adjoa Bayor.

The launch of Bayor will take place at the Kawukudi branch of Decathlon Ghana. The project will address the challenges of women's football on the African continent.

Echoes from Faraday is an artistic community project that seeks to tell the stories of female footballers; their highs and lows, cheers and boos and the mental part of what they do.

The launch will hold stakeholders in the football industry to delve into the themes of the EP ‘equity, mental health’ and the broader goal of the project.

Notable stakeholders and participants include former Ghana internationals Anthony Baffoe and Yussif Chibsah, Rosalind Amoh, Juliet Bawuah, Veronica Commey, John Dumelo and Gary-Al Smith.

"While this was supposed to be a coping mechanism for me, I’m glad to be able to share it with other athletes," said the leader of the project, Dorcas Fumey Kafui, in an interview with Joy Sports.

Faraday has been playing on the domestic scene for some time now. She played for Ghana Women's Premier League side, Police Ladies, before signing for GRA Ladies in the Division One League ahead of the start of the 2023/24 season.

While playing football, Faraday also has become an advocate to address the mental health of female footballers something that led to her decision to come out with the Echoes from Faraday project.

These stories feature players from different African countries as well as sports enthusiasts.

The EP seeks to project the emotions and mental health of athletes while it also targets the possible development of reforms on the domestic scene.

The collaborators aim to ignite discussions, enhance understanding of mental health matters, and instigate beneficial transformations within the realm of women's football through this project.

After its launch, the EP will be accessible to the public, providing insights into the journeys and ambitions of women in football.

This endeavour represents a notable stride in fostering inclusivity, empowerment, and advancement for female athletes in Ghana.
