Empress Gifty
Multiple award-winning Ghanaian gospel musician, Empress Gifty has released a ravishing video for his new song titled Awiey3 Pa.
The video directed and shot by renowned director, Skyweb tells the story of a talented young lady who faced challenges growing up.
Gifted with an awe-inspiring voice, she never had the support of her family to exhibit the gift.
Not perturbed by this, on an errand in the market one day, she met a Man of God preaching and decided to join and sing for him.
Unknowing to this young lady, her mother who couldn’t wait any longer at home stormed the market to humiliate her and later sacked her from the house.
Thankfully, this young gifted lady met her destiny changer at the same place she was humiliated. She was signed and taken to the studio by the destiny changer and this young lady became a huge gospel music star in the future.
Interestingly her mother and a friend who conspired to sack her ended up regretting their action after watching her on television.
Awiey3 Pa is premised on Jeremiah 29:11 which says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
The song which is Empress Gifty’s first single for the year, is off her album expected to be released before the end of the year.
Empress Gifty has earlier revealed that the song which was written by her colleague, Ewura Abena was inspired by Jeremiah 29:11 which says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
