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.
