Katya The Destroyer (Katia Osei)
Katia Osei, also known as Katya the Destroyer, is a Ghanaian engineer, researcher, and storyteller working to democratize the "-isms" and "-ologies" long reserved for the privileged few.
Born and raised in Takoradi, she returned to Ghana's coastline after studying bioengineering at Harvard University.
Her work spans genetic engineering to community ecology, bridging conventional academia and citizen science.
Katia believes the world as we know it was first spoken into being and that new stories, told from this same coast, can help unbuild it into something fairer.
