Dee Baby disclosed that this is the time for her to work hard and change the perception of the people of the Northern Region about reality shows, and the need to get involved.

As part of this, Dee Baby said she would organise education campaigns among other activaties to ensure religion did not become a hindrance to participating in such programmes, especially Di Asa.

“This is the time I am going to work, Northerners, I have to get them involved, some have this mentality about such programmes because of their religious beliefs. I am going to organise and change the perception,” she said.

According to her anytime reality shows like Di Asa visited the enclave for auditions it was always difficult for people to volunteer due to religious beliefs  among others, adding that husbands do not willingly allow their wives to take part, thinking they would be exposed.

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.
