In the United Kingdom, Nana has built a substantial portfolio of initiatives designed to connect creativity, enterprise, education and community development. Through Film Academy Milton Keynes, she is developing new approaches to filmmaking education, including the integration of artificial intelligence into creative learning and production. Her doctoral research examines the impact of AI as an active learning tool in filmmaking education and practice, reflecting her wider commitment to ensuring that education prepares learners not simply for today's creative economy, but for the future of work.

She is also developing an ambitious vision for an AI Creative Futures Institute, designed to bring together education, technology, creative production and enterprise, while creating new opportunities for young people and emerging creators.

As an author, Nana has written Twenty-One African Queens Every Young Girl Should Know About, a work celebrating African women whose leadership, courage and achievements have shaped history. Her wider publishing and screen-development work reflects her commitment to reclaiming African narratives and ensuring that African stories are created, owned and distributed on a global stage.

​

Nana is also the founder of the Black History Month Art, Culture and Business Exhibition, a major annual celebration of Black creativity, entrepreneurship, history and culture in Milton Keynes. The exhibition has grown substantially since its launch, bringing together artists, businesses, community organisations, young people and international guests. Her wider events portfolio includes the Black Excellence Awards and programmes addressing entrepreneurship, women's leadership, youth development, health and community cohesion.

​

Alongside her entrepreneurial and creative work, Nana serves as a Milton Keynes City Councillor and has undertaken leadership responsibilities relating to ethnic diversity and inclusion. Her civic work reflects her belief that representation must translate into practical opportunities, stronger communities and greater participation in public life.

She is also a voluntary Adviser on Local Economic Development to the Commonwealth Businesswomen's Network, supporting conversations around women's entrepreneurship, economic participation and development.

​

Nana's work increasingly sits at the intersection of creative industries, technology, education, entrepreneurship and social impact. 

​

Her leadership philosophy is rooted in the belief that creativity is not simply a cultural asset—it is an economic resource, an educational tool and a vehicle for social transformation. Across her work in film, publishing, education, events and public service, she continues to build platforms that create opportunities for others while challenging conventional narratives about Africa, the diaspora and who gets to shape the future.

​

Currently undertaking doctoral research while leading multiple creative and civic initiatives, Nana Ofori-Atta Oguntola represents a distinctive combination of creative entrepreneurship, academic research, public leadership and international development experience. Her work is driven by a clear ambition: to build sustainable creative ecosystems in which talent can be trained, stories can be owned, intellectual property can generate wealth, and the next generation can become creators of the future rather than merely spectators of it.
