Poetra Ama Asantewa: The Creative Poet With Beautiful Stories

Poetra Ama Asantewaa has been doing this for more than 10 years. Truth be told, the poet and singer began featuring in gigs 2010 after a collaboration with a community of poets and authors who used to meet every other month to hammer, perform and even have discussions.

That was perhaps, Poetra Ama Asantewaa’s biggest breakthrough. Most African women scarcely do this- – ie. get themselves engaged with doing poetry. But Ama Asantewaa chose to break that “jinx” or be a part of those who originally broke it (that is, assuming there are any).

Poetra Ama Asantewa is as a young and aggressive Ghanaian artist, who lives between her country of origin Ghana and the US. She has demonstrated her saliency in arts and entertainment industry. As a matter of fact, she doesn’t want to be boxed into the definition of “poet” or “writer” – she rather describes herself as a “storyteller“.

After the 2010 collaboration event, which nearly seemed as though a breakthrough for her, Ama Asantewaa, step by step transformed into a performing poet. Ama Asantewaa’s writing is a narrative of self, and the environment where she resides in. Her work is impacted by her experience, the experience of others, and her community, generally.

Since that time, Ama Asantewaa has been ‘faster-than-light’ than anticipated. She currently uses her writing to investigate, document, query and find answers to all issues. As per her, she believes this has had an impact on her everyday routine and the experiences of the people who connect with her poetry works, regardless of whether it is to go against.

Ama Asantewaa’s poetry verses are outlined in a reasonable portion of women’s liberation. Her work isn’t just about producing pleasant and melodious compositions – she often combines spoken words accompanied by original soundtracks – rather, it’s a mission.

The talented poet and musician is accustomed to writing to examine things according to alternate points of view, to see things in lethargic movement, to address things more, to see the value in things more, to notice things intently, to investigate and to make an environment to take a gander at things all the more critically.

Notwithstanding, this view is also reflected in majority of her works, especially “Hungry”, a spoken word “fixated on the connection between African youth and their respective nations. It was born out of an observation of a lot of the youth migrating to other parts of the world – because of a lack of sustainability and growth at home.
