Tanya Akrofi
Writer & Oral Storyteller
Copywriting | Storytelling | Facilitation
When I was a little girl, my mum had a book called "Your Word is Your Wand": a book of positive affirmations, it showed how our words shape our world. It started a lifelong passion for me.
​
I fell in love with words and the stories they create.
​
In my work, I combine my love of performance, with creative writing. In mixing my Ghanaian oral heritage with western storytelling traditions, I create articles, essays and community events, which give people the chance to see and share the human experience - in all its messy beauty.
​​
We are all driven by the stories we tell ourselves and others. By taking conscious control of the words we use everyday, we can create more fulfilling lives and communities - basically, we can make some magic!
