A-Kra

How do you create a life that you have no blueprint for? I’m not sure but on A-kra podcast, we are figuring it out together. In Akan cosmology Kra, meaning soul, is one of the three major parts of our being- a deep well of knowledge and drive that guides us throughout our life. In this season, we will be hearing from five Ghanaian women creatives on how they’ve made their own paths. What do we talk about? Everything from balancing music alongside a PHD to how to travel the world on a budget. Listen out for pieces of tarot wisdom and poetry woven throughout our conversations. Hosted by writer and curator, Yaa Addae. More Yaa:) https://yaaaddae.contently.com/

    Lost In The Source

    Episode 2: Lost In the Source On this episode of A-Kra, Yaa is joined by musician and writer, Debbie Frempong, also known as Narah. Starting off making popular highlife covers, she has been balancing her art with academia since she started graduate school and is currently pursuing a PhD in Anthropology at Brown University. Narah just released her first EP, ‘Tide’ this summer, it is an absolute bop! Big sitting on the beach with your girls, all wearing pastel colours and eating fruit kind of vibes- basically joy. We talk about integrating academia/work and creativity, letting go of your inner critic and the existential crisis of navigating Accra when you leave and move back. Oh, and listen to Narah’s music.
