Stephanie Benson, Akosua Agyapong and more nominated at GOWA 2018.
Women are now been recognized in their various field of
endeavor compared to previous years. I write this with regards to Ghana
Outstanding Women Awards 2018. Kudos to Stephanie Benson, Akosua
Agyapong, Mzvee, Joyce Blessing, Wiyaala, Philipa Baafi and Eshun Esi
Ethel who were nominated for “Outstanding Women In Music” category. Main
event is slated on 30 November 2018 at Alisa hotel.
Ulterior
motive of the awards scheme is to encourage and push women who are
doing well in various endeavours in life to light the path of other
women to follow. The objective of the organizers mirrors Stephanie
Benson’s vision for women empowerment. It's no surprise she was
nominated in such a prestigious category.
This
could be few of the numerous reason she was nominated for GOWA 2018;
her successful music career, cancer journey, help she gives women going
through cancer, BEPI girls school, talent, amazing shows for the Princes
in England. And of course her recognition in the UK as well as her
thriving daughter, Alexandra making history in the music scene in UK.
It's likely she'll win.
Before
I hang my pen, she’s still auctioning toggery(ies) in her wardrobe to
aid her cancer foundation (Stephanie Benson’s Breast Cancer Foundation)
at Haatso last stop beside the Barclays Bank. As a breast cancer
survivor, the jazz goddess and humanitarian wants to drum home
awareness, importance of regular check up, self examination, etc of
breast cancer to her fellow women. Naturally, Stephanie's love for
humanity is letter-perfect therefore she supports them in every way she
can to lift their hope high and put smile of their face.
