With an MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage from Northwestern University, her work explores identity, gender, family, and the intersections of memory and truth, drawing from African storytelling traditions and global perspectives. 

Professionally, she served as Camera Operator and Animation Supervisor on When Women Speak, the award-winning documentary chronicling the lives of Ghanaian women activists navigating decades of political transition. 

As a writer, Akosua’s plays and screenplays are rooted in socio-political themes, often centering characters navigating the tensions between personal desire and societal expectation. Her work has been recognized with awards including the Accra Indie Film Festival Pitch 2024 competition, for an animated short currently in development as well as the Vérité Documentary Award at the 2018 Tri-Co Film Festival with her short film Living Legends.

Akosua is rarely without music. Whether working or relaxing, there’s always a playlist on because she believes there’s a soundtrack for every occasion.
