  • IN recent years, social media has become an inseparable part of daily life, radically altering the way we communicate, interact, and express ourselves.

The article from Graphic Online discusses how social media platforms are significantly shaping creativity in Ghana. It highlights that social media has become a vital tool for Ghanaian creatives, including musicians, filmmakers, and artists, to showcase their work, gain recognition, and connect with a broader audience both locally and internationally.
