A Ghanaian Social Blogger, Writer, Technologist and a Social Activist. My work and passion focuses on a range of issues related to Technology, Entrepreneurship, African Ingenuity, Gender, Human Rights and Freedom of Expression with special emphasis on the Sub-Saharan African region.

As of April, 2010; I assumed the role of Regional Editor – Africa on Future Challenges by the Bertelsmann Foundation in Gutersloh, Germany.

I’m an active author with Global Voices Online; where I aggregate & research on feeds from citizen media from the Sub-Saharan Region. I’m also on the board of Ghana Blogging Group; (a vibrant community of bloggers with passion for Ghanaian contents).

I have written for and been featured in numerous publications, including The CS Monitor, NY Times and Future Challenges. I currently write for Global Voices Online. A selection of my published writing can be found here.

I regularly speak at conferences, workshops and seminars on topics I’m very passionate about. In the past year, this has included TEDx Youth Inspire, BarCamp Ghana, Knight Digital Media Center @ UC Berkeley, California and others. If you would like to invite me to speak, attend or be interviewed, you can e-mail me at [email protected]

I hope to put common discourse in question and incite discussion on how the continent can move forward. Through dialogue there can be a change.
