“A creative industry thrives when its ecosystem is close to complete—when all parts work together in a way that supports creation, circulation, and sustainability. There is no true “end point” in creativity; it is cyclical. A functional ecosystem means that alongside talented writers, poets, and spoken word artists, there are professional managing, refining, distributing, and amplifying their work.”

Lizz Johnson“Across the decades, Ghanaian food has changed. Or perhaps, food has stayed the same and we have changed. Either way, the taste has shifted, slipped, softened, sometimes vanished altogether. And Christmas, of all seasons, exposes it mercilessly.”
Kofi Akpabli“For anyone paying attention, Accra feels like a character in a book. Consider how people describe this place, using words like “friendly,” “safe,” and, whispered behind closed doors, “greedy.” Walk Accra’s streets long enough, and you will acquire a sense of narrative, whether you open a book or not.”
Kobby Ankomah-Graham“I pictured loss with bloodied teeth, gnawing at my legs, disabling my knees and my feet, smiling sadistically as I reeled over how badly it hurt.”
Evangel-leo-ken Acquaye“[Peace] never stays where it is placed, always chasing chances-like a truce, waiting for something to break its middle, to drown in.”
