VOICES OF INNOVATION
Podcast Description
I am Leticia Makafui Ahiamadzi, a young African woman passionate about youth development, innovation, and climate action. I’ve had many ideas but lacked the resources, mentorship, and confidence to bring them to life. Many young people face the same struggle and those already creating solutions sometimes lose hope, feeling that African innovation is undervalued or overlooked. Through my podcast, I amplify youth voices, share real stories, and inspire belief. When young people see others like them solve problems, they start to believe they can too and that belief can reshape Africa's future!

What if the materials we throw away every day could become something powerful, something beautiful, something that sparks social change?
In this episode of Voices of Innovation, Leticia sits down with Adutwum Doku, a visual artist, eco-creator, and social innovator redefining what sustainability can look like in Ghana. From polystyrene to scrap wood and plastics, Adutwum transforms discarded materials into meaningful sculptures that challenge perception and inspire action.
We explore:
His journey into art and eco-creativity
How he turns waste into thought-provoking pieces
What drives his mission to shift mindsets around sustainability
The social impact of his work in local communities
Lessons for young innovators merging creativity and environmental consciousness.
This is a reminder that innovation isn’t always about technology, sometimes, it’s about seeing value where others see waste.
