Seyram Klu De-Souza is a Ghanaian cultural strategist and creative writer whose work operates at the intersection of arts, cultural diplomacy, and socially engaged practice. Her intellectual and creative interests center on how culture functions as a site of memory, agency, transformation and most recently, ekphrasis.

With academic training in film, international relations and arts and culture management, she approaches cultural production as both a critical inquiry and a tool for public engagement, designing initiatives that position creativity as a force for dialogue, equity, and social imagination.

She has contributed to major cultural initiatives including film festivals, exhibitions, and interdisciplinary arts programming. She is the project lead for Dear Legachi, a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering children across Ghana, through education, advocacy, and the arts.

As a writer, Seyram works across poetry, prose, and creative nonfiction. Her work has appeared in Brittle Paper, Nenta Literary Journal, and the Lucky Jefferson collection, and she was a finalist for the Adinkra Poetry Prize. Her literary voice is noted for its attentiveness to interior landscapes, history, and the quiet architectures through which individuals hold memory and identity.

She is the founder and chief editor of Interstice, a journal dedicated to unfinished works, fragments, and emergent artistic processes. Through her research, writing, and curatorial initiatives, she is committed to building transnational cultural platforms that foster intellectual exchange, support emerging voices, and reframe how creativity is understood as an evolving, human process of inquiry and expression.

Evangel-Leo-Ken Jnr Yorke Acquaye is a multifaceted young Ghanaian writer, activist, and aspiring attorney-dentist (yes, you read that right!). A passionate human rights advocate who holds literacy and art in the highest esteem, Leo is a writer at heart whose voice is amplified by his love for humanity, the arts, and his dream of an Africa where illiteracy is nearly nonexistent.

Through his work, he embodies the spirit of a budding changemaker. As the Founder of Dear Legachi, Leo dedicates himself to empowering the young girl child and fighting against domestic violence, child marriage, and all forms of abuse. He creatively integrates STEM, filmmaking, poetry and the arts into his mission of empowerment, restoration, and dismantling archaic cultures that suppress true humanity and kindness.

When he is not writing, Leo co-leads Rhetoric Orchestra and manages the Creatives Project Ghana community. A prolific poet with hundreds of pieces to his name, his work has been featured or is forthcoming in esteemed publications such as Isele Magazine, Nenta Literary Journal, The Shallow Tales Review and the Adinkra Poetry Prize issue, among others.

As an Ambassador for Youths and Rights International and an advocate for Read Ghana, Leo’s passion for social justice and education shines brightly. A self-proclaimed feminist, he is unafraid to challenge the status quo. He firmly believes that art is essential and that writing provides stability in chaos.

Leo is a writer, a fighter, and a lover.
