A writer, cultural researcher, educator and DJ raised between Ghana and Britain, I am passionately curious about the subcultures shaping African music, art, and thought.

One question runs through all my work: how does culture shape what we imagine is possible?

I work from inside culture. At the heart of this work are storytelling and a practice I call early communing: different ways of being present that shape how I teach, create, perform, and make sense of the worlds I move between. Over two decades, that inside position has taken the form of helping students and organizations understand culture as a tool for strategy and social change, as well as leading and contributing to initiatives to map, amplify and professionalize Ghana’s creative ecosystem.

A Miles Morland African Writers Scholar, I have written and featured in Kinfolk, Aperture, The Guardian, the BBC, The Africa Report, and Tampered Press. I have also attracted funding from the likes of DANIDA and Africa No Filter.

Without culture, we risk a world drained of the imagination we need to dream ourselves past society’s problems, leaving us trapped in cycles of repetition. So I do all of this to build pathways and frameworks for emerging African creatives, cultural practitioners and journalists; pathways I did not have on my own way up.
