Adjei is a poet and community organiser who explores themes of masculinity, mental health, love and identity through his work.
As well as creating his own poetry work, Adjei organises impactful community driven projects - fundraising for inclusive youth projects, anti-youth violence and play schemes for children with special needs. Adjei began by self funding these schemes while still in college in 2018. Since graduating in Politics and Philosophy, Adjei has created a community driven discussion and concert series where themes such as mental health, masculinity and gender have been explored.
He has now begun teaching poetry workshops at schools and youth clubs in inner city Birmingham. This empowers them with the tools to express themselves, helping to tackle mental health inequalities.
