Welcome to KoFeBean Consultancy

Akua Manfo (aka Blakofe), a Ghanaian-British Media Personality and Former Deputy CEO of Tourism Development Company, KoFeBean Consultancy is a company built on a foundation of ethical business practices, transparency, and accountability. We pride ourselves on getting things done, and offering innovative solutions to our clients. Our team is made up of highly skilled professionals, with expertise across a wide range of industries; ensuring we deliver exceptional, tailor-made solutions to meet your unique needs. 

I gave Ghana my all - honesty, creativity, and passion. My dedication to promoting Ghanaian arts, culture, and tourism was unwavering, and I poured everything into my work. However, leaving my efforts behind to start anew in the UK meant that I wasn't in Ghana to receive the recognition, appreciation, or financial rewards I had worked for over the years, especially for the 2019 Year of Return. I also didn't have the chance to be around for the Full Circle Festival, an iniative that was birthed when I introduced Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari-Parker to President Mahama in 2009. 

On the positive side, these years away from Ghana gave me the opportunity to travel and make more contacts around the world. I also used the time to write three African history and culture books and six autobiographies as a ghostwriter. 

Despite being denied my rightful in Ghana between 2018 and 2024, I remain proud of the work I contributed and the foundation I helped lay for future efforts. The passion that drove me continues to fuel my journey. After 6 years, I am back and ready to continue contributing to the growth and promotion of Ghana and Africa in ways that align with my values. My mission remains on honesty, smart work, and ensuring that African culture continues to thrive on the global stage. 

As I return to Ghana with KoFeBean Consultancy, I am filled with optimism and enthusiam. With KoFeBean Consultancy, I am not only looking forward to doing what I did in the past - TV, radio, events, tours, linking people, Diapora relations, cultural facilitation, artiste management, and more  - but also helping others realise their true potential and unlock new opportunities, both in Ghana and across Africa. Here's to new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and a future full of promise. Cheers!
