The first time my love for music and popular culture was validated was at UNTOLD: a London-based black magazine I worked at in the early 2000s. I would go on to become a radio journalist here in Accra, breaking 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, pioneering the social media blueprint that most Ghanaian radio stations follow today, and becoming the first person employed by the Ghanaian government to work full-time on social media (at the Constitution Review Commission).

Below are a few times I have been interviewed or written about for my work in culture, creativity, digital media, and education.
