Creativity in Motion: In Conversation with Naa Dedei Botchwey, Winner of Ghana's Most Beautiful 2020

It was such a pleasure to sit down with writer, educationist, creative and winner of Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2020, Naa Dedei Botchwey, to hear more about her journey within education and the creative arts.

That there are significant commercial opportunities within Africa’s creative industries is no secret: just towards the end of last year, deals valued at USD36billion in the creative industries were signed at the Intra African Trade Fair in South Africa and Netflix has just signed a two-year MoU to support filmmakers and students in digital technology in Kenya. Yet to harness this opportunity, there is a need for greater collaboration, exposure of talent and investment.

In this interview, Naa Dedei speaks about her passion for education, mentoring young women especially through the Naa Dedei Botchwey Foundation and its scholarship programme in support of 22 women at the Ghana Maritime University and her new role in the remake of the household series, Inspector Bediako.
