Writing has been a constant in Maame Afua Fosua Ayiku’s life.
Her father encouraged her to write essays on Saturdays, which she despised at the time.
However, as she grew older, she came to value the skills she learned from those exercises.
Writing is now more than a hobby for her; it is a passion that has led her to explore various genres such as prose, poetry, and drama.
Ayiku draws her inspiration from her childhood experiences and biblical stories, which she uses to connect with her audience on a deeper level.
Her passion for spoken word, on the other hand, developed later in life, when she began to explore ways to express herself beyond the written page.
Ayiku’s work extends beyond writing and spoken word.
She is also a voracious reader and a fan of natural hair.
Ayiku believes that natural hair is an important part of one’s identity as someone who values self-expression.
Aside from writing and having natural hair, Ayiku enjoys baking.
She sees baking as a creative outlet, similar to writing, and enjoys experimenting with new flavors and ingredients.
She enjoys sharing her creations with friends and family.
Ayiku has always pursued her interests and found ways to express herself through them.
Her writing, spoken word, love for natural hair, and faith are all extensions of her creative spirit.
Ayiku’s goal is to connect with others and inspire them to pursue their own passions, whether through her writing or spoken word performances.

Ehalakasa is the platform where spoken word (poetry) intersects with music.
Eha means Song in Ewe. La means Sing in Ga. Kasa means Talk in Akan (Twi).
These separate words are combined to form EHALAKASA. The basic intent for EHALAKASA is to address and deal with issues relevant to our time as a people, while projecting Ghanaian values. At Ehalakasa we discover, nurture, develop and empower youth in the areas of creative writing, reading and performance arts, through event production and workshops. EHALAKASA has evolved out of the response of artists’ and art lovers’ desire for the awakening and recognition of spoken word performance, live music and poetry in Accra and Ghana.
The SheSheSlam
SheShe is an all-women performance project open to only females. Our target is women of all ages and background based in Ghana with emphasis on young women. Slam as the name implies, is a crash in this case by words and ideas. SheSheSlam is a lyrical battle set between open-minded women who believe in the submission and exchange of thoughts through imagination and creativity within a timeframe of 3 minutes.
This slam is eligible only to females because we have realized a huge gap with regards to gender roles in general within the space of poetry slam and we want to bridge that gap. The poetry slam space, although is not a male-only field has been dominated by males over the years and thus, the need for us to rise up to the call to duty with SheSheSlam. We set to see women slam organizers from A to Z for the first time and to witness all key players during the slam taking the bull by the horn.
Our focus is on helping to raise and grow the interest of young women for the global slam community and allow them the space to voice out in the right direction. We are proud to mention the current National Slam Champion, Twita Lit who is also a former SheShe Slammer, is one of us. She is working towards representing Ghana at the next Africa Cup of Poetry Slam in Bamako this year and later to the World Poetry Slam Championship in Brazil.
This is the road map for SheSheSlam, we are calling on all individuals; women support groups and stake holders who believe and see eye with us on this.
SLAM RULES
The slam is a three (3) round healthy battle of performances where slammers perform their originally written spoken word pieces before a live audience to be judged by five (5) randomly selected audience members as judges on the scale of one to ten (1 – 10).
After each performance, slam master will drop one (1) high score and one (1) low score then add up the three (3) scores in between to make up the total score for the performance. This will make 30 the highest score.
