Media & Press
Besides being in the media, I have worked in media too. Back in 2008, I was a radio journalist/DJ and broke a news story that lead to the resignation of an acting Minister of State. Thereafter, I became one of Ghana’s first digital media professionals: the first person employed by the Ghanaian government to work full-time in social media (at the Constitution Review Commission).
Below are a few times I have been interviewed or profiled for my work in culture, creativity, digital media, and education.
