Ghanaian actress and filmmaker Yvonne Nelson is preparing to dazzle audiences once again with her latest cinematic venture, “Tripping,” scheduled for release on March 29, Easter Friday at the Silverbird Cinemas.
Produced under the banners of YN Studios in association with Balance Studios, the film promises to deliver an enthralling narrative of adventure, mystery, and self-discovery.
The star-studded cast of “Tripping” features an array of talent, including Yvonne Nelson herself, alongside some industry veterans such as Irene Opare.
TikTok sensation Jackline Mensah, comedian Hogan, and “Yolo” star Delove Augustt, Solomon Fixon Owoo, Sena Fafali Ahiable, and Nigerian skit star Zic Saloma, had their chance to play captivating roles.
“Tripping” unfolds the story of Cole (Hogan), a wealthy heir disillusioned by the chaos surrounding his family’s fortune.
Seeking solace, Cole embarks on an expedition with three close companions, anticipating excitement and temporary respite. However, their journey takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves stranded at a crossroad, unsure of their next move.
As the group grapples with the challenges of their isolated predicament, they chance upon a mysterious hotel nestled across a river.
Their discovery marks a dramatic shift in fortunes as they uncover the hotel’s enigmatic secrets. Tensions mount as buried truths emerge, testing the limits of loyalty, friendship, and personal convictions among travellers.
Amidst the uncertainty, the hotel reveals unexpected secrets, each offering transformative healing beyond imagination.
As Cole and his companions navigate their new-found reality, they must confront inner demons and traverse the complexities of their journey.
Yvonne Nelson assumes the directorial reins, infusing “Tripping” with her distinctive vision and storytelling prowess.
With a track record of impactful contributions to Ghanaian cinema, the multiple award-winning Ghanaian actress is poised to elevate the film’s narrative and captivate audiences with its blend of intrigue, suspense, and emotional depth.
Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Bernice Offei has passed on Saturday August 12, 2026.
She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
Mrs Offei was married to Prof. Samuel Kwame Offei, a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and the couple had two children.
Her death comes days after she was reported missing but was later found safe.
Mrs Offei leaves behind a rich music legacy that continues to inspire faith, hope and resilience among generations of listeners. -GNA
