Elizabeth Amponsah
One of Ghana’s few female barbers, Elizabeth Amponsah, who has carved a niche for herself in the ‘grooming’ industry was adjudged Barber of the Year at the 2023 Face of Africa Awards held in Accra.
Known as the Celebrity Lady Barber, she beat tough competitions from hundreds of entrants in the category to walk away with one of the topmost accolades.
The exceptional barber who has warmed the heart of many through her craft, received a citation from the organisers for her efforts.
“Warmest congratulations on your achievement! Wishing you even more success in the future. Con¬gratulations on your well-deserved success! You are an inspiration,” her citation read.
Though her profession is domi¬nated by men, the young, dynamic, hardworking and beautiful barber is looking forward to gaining global recognition as one of the best hands in the industry.
Speaking to The Spectator, Lizzy said, the awards would serve as mo¬tivation and propel her for greater recognition.
“This is my passion and pro¬fession. I approach my work with diligence and ensure that my clients are satisfied,” she stated.
“This is a testament of my hard work over the years and it would motivate me to do more to gain the recognition to inspire others,” she stated.
She advised other females to go all out to pursue any career of their choice without fear especially those assumed to be male dominated fields.
“Women can do anything if they put their minds to it. I would like to urge all women to work hard in any field they find themselves as they could excel in any profession,” she stressed.

Rhythms On Da Runway goes ‘Unbound’ on November 28 at Palms Convention Centre
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.
