The Ofi Press published a special West African edition, with content in English and Spanish, which focused on West Africa, while Bakwa, in turn, published a special Mexican issue, focusing on Mexican art, culture and society, with most of the content in English and some Spanish translations.

The project was lauded by several journals and outlets, especially the online website Heritage 1960[7] In 2015, Bakwa was part of #100DaysofAfricanReads, a social media project curated by Angela Wachuka, executive director of Kwani?, which entailed "a series of portraits on books, writers and readers, over a 100 day period ... highlighting the work of an African author in print and online".
