About Nana Asaase
Nana Asaase is a Ghanaian Poet, Writer, Literary Coach, Cultural Practitioner, multi artist and Storyteller. His works are mostly rendered in a blend of English and Twi (one of the dominant Ghanaian languages). He has served audiences from all walks of life, including all Presidents of Ghana’s fourth republic, the current King of England, then Prince Charles, to corporate giants, academics and art lovers in general, within and beyond the borders of Ghana, having practiced his art for 23 years. Despite being young, Nana’s deep appreciation of ‘Akan oratory’ embodied in appellations directed at the high and mighty, and of Ghanaian folklore, has earned him a seat around the table of the country’s literary giants. He is a former student of the University of Ghana, and was under the tutelage of Prof Kofi Anyidoho, a giant in Ghanaian and African literature, and many more Ghanaian literary greats afterwards. He has been interviewed on both local and international media, including the BBC and CNN’s “African Voices” program. He is currently serving his second term as the Secretary of the governing board of Ghana’s National Folklore Board. Nana Asaase is the CEO of Asaase Inscriptions, Ghana’s first Literary Coaching Agency and Cultural Consultancy.
