Budding Ghanaian actress and activist, Akosua Asieduaa Asare Brewu, took centre stage at the recently concluded USAID Youth Conference in Washington, USA, where she passionately voiced her commitment to addressing the challenges facing the most vulnerable demographic in society - the youth.

Drawing from her experiences and observations, she underscored the importance of prioritising these issues to ensure a brighter and more equitable future for all.
Discovered and signed in 2019 to Pave; a prominent hub dedicated to discovering and nurturing creative talents in Ghana, Asieduaa has garnered widespread acclaim for her role as “Tilly”, a high school senior who battles the turbulence of adolescence in the popular YOLO TV Series. Leveraging her platform as an actress and activist, she continues to inspire change and drive meaningful dialogue on pressing social issues.
Her impassioned address at the USAID Youth Conference resonated deeply with attendees, igniting discussions and catalysing action towards building a more inclusive and prosperous society. Asieduaa's dedication to advocacy serves as a beacon of hope for youth empowerment and gender.
Asieduaa holds a degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Ghana and is currently pursuing her postgraduate degree in Environmental Resources Management at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, KNUST.
Asieduaa identifies as a #Paver; a term which is synonymous to an individual who uses their influence to promote positive change in society.
