Richard Ohene Bekoe, commonly known in the Ghanaian media circus as Richie Whriter is a professionally trained screenwriter and film director who is responsible for writing many Ghanaian films and TV shows, one of which is the popular award winning TV drama series, "Heels and Sneakers" - produced by the famous actress and producer, Yvonne Nelson, a show that won him nomination in the 2017 Ghana Movie Awards as Best Writer alongside astute filmmakers like Shirley Frimpong Manso.
Richard took to writing since he was a teenager, something that was inspired by a great teacher who saw his writing potential and empowered him to write an essay each day bordering on various subjects. This act of empowerment is what motivated and inspired him to also become a teacher, to teach others and help them realize their potentials. He believes that in whatever language one chooses as a means of communication, one of the best ways to be a master of that language is by teaching it to others, and especially to those learning it as a second language. And as someone who has risen to the status of providing content for national television, Richard always insists on the speaking of good English and is himself an instrument of this change.- Jerry J.
