Building communities is something that I've been passionate about for a while. Especially creative communities, because I believe we can achieve a lot together for the industry as a strong unit. This is one of the main reasons we started dEX. Today's episode takes a look at how Natalie and her team at New Comma are working towards building an African Creative Ecosystem and her creative journey so far. Be sure to check out their platform, sign up, and connect with other amazing African creatives.

I WAS KIDNAPPED FOR THIS EPISODE. LOL
My good friend Tabitha ambushed me after her episode and decided to interview me instead, find out things I haven't thought of in a while about my life and my career as a creative living in Ghana. On this episode, I share my experience on my journey so far, where I'm headed and how some of the learnings I've picked up over the years as a creative entrepreneur can help other people grow as well.
And oh, October is my birth month so if anybody wants to gift me with a free book or some animation courses online, i'd be grateful lol. Also, an apple watch won't be bad *coughs* Ok bye.

SOCIAL MEDIA & CREATIVE MENTAL HEALTH
Being a creator on today’s digital age requires that you put yourself and your work online. Once it’s out there, you subject yourself to critique and comments that might be hurtful to you as a person. Sheldon is one of the biggest creators in Ghana and has seen online abuse firsthand (with attacks both on his work and persona) today’s episode discusses these issues and takes a dive into how he navigates these mental waters.

EXPORTING YOUR TALENT TO THE WORLD
As a young creative growing up anywhere in the world, one of the things we dream of is to be able to export our work to other markets, to see our work on the big screens and to enter into rooms that sometimes seem possible only in our dreams of course. Today's guest has seen and done it all. Coming out of Africa and playing in the big leagues, working with international clients like MTV, DSTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy central, to mention but a few. One thing we try to find out is, HOW? How he did it and how we can also do it.

CREATING CONTENT FOR STARTUPS
Playing the social media & content game can be a very tricky one. Especially if you're trying to sell goods or services. It can either be a blissful flow of dopamine as a results of lots of love and engagement or a sad cycle of never-ending experiments that leads to crickets all the time. In today's episode, we sit down with Yayra Nutakor, Co-Founder of Fooveo (a digital video marketing agency) and our one and only Instagram Queen of reels to discuss what small businesses and creative freelancers can do to grow their following, build community and most importantly generate leads from social media.
