Where thework lives.
Four platforms I build and steward, from a national slam circuit in Ghana to a global governing body.
Managing Partner
Ehalakasa National Slam
Ghana’s premier spoken word and slam poetry collective. Ehalakasa runs a national slam circuit and a year-round performance calendar, and it is the pipeline through which Ghanaian poets reach international stages.
In February 2023 I led a partnership engagement between Ehalakasa and Alliance Française, received by the French Ambassador in Accra.
Board Member · Communications and Marketing
World Poetry Slam Organization
I sit on the board of the World Poetry Slam Organization with responsibility for communications and marketing, working to widen the routes African poets take onto the world championship stage.
I served on the final jury of the 2023 World Poetry Slam Championship in Rio de Janeiro, and as guest jury at the Togo National Slam the same year.
Women’s slam platform
SheShe Slam
Empowering women through poetry and performance in safe, well-run creative spaces built for competition as much as for care.
The platform gives women a dedicated route into the national slam circuit rather than an afterthought within it.
Community foundation
Vintagehub Foundation
Serving communities through intergenerational support and sustainable development programming rooted in local practice.
The work sits alongside my advocacy for arts within the Sustainable Development Goals.
