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.

I write and work from within culture. A Miles Morland African Writers Scholar, I have written and featured in Frieze, 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.

One question informs all my work: how can culture shape our collective imagination and, in doing so, help our societies become more than we already are? I believe that without creative 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.

Over two decades, this thinking has led to contributing to initiatives to map, amplify and professionalize Ghana’s creative ecosystem, as well as helping students and organizations understand culture as a tool for social change and strategy.

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.
