Esi kokui
Rooted in purpose. Powered by creativity. Focused on impact.
My name is Esi Acolatse and I am proud Ghanaian-American entrepreneur, storyteller, and the founder of Melanin MagEK Travels, a travel company I created to help others experience the magic of adventure and connection of Ghana.
As a content creator, I love inviting people into my world through vlogs and posts that reflect who I am—someone who’s passionate about travel, beauty, pop culture, and the everyday moments that make life exciting.
Whether I’m exploring a new city, diving into the latest trends, or just sharing a glimpse of my day-to-day life, I aim to create content that feels relatable and uplifting.
MY WHY: I tell stories to reflect the beauty, complexity, and joy of becoming — especially as a Ghanaian-American woman navigating life in San Francisco. Through content rooted in travel, self-care, beauty, lifestyle, and pop culture, I aim to create a digital space that feels like a conversation with your favorite homegirl: honest, healing, and inspiring. My storytelling is personal, but purposeful. It’s about showing up fully and encouraging others to do the same, wherever they are in the world or in their journey.
I am open to partnership – Email esiacolatse47@gmail.com for partnerships/press.

Past Collaborations
Travel Company: Melanin MagEK Travels
Melanin MagEK Travels is a travel company that provides authentic, safe, and fun experiences in Ghana. Our goal is to make the travel process as smooth as it can be traveling to Africa and making sure that those traveling feel more than prepared to go. We also pride ourselves in our travelers experiencing all the best and authentic meals, excursions, people and community, culture and more.
I also showcase our trips through social media and give advice and information on how people can get there on their own.
