I’ll start from the beginning when I first felt the calling to start my ministry. I remember the excitement and passion that filled my heart as I envisioned reaching people with the Gospel through music. But as time went by, I faced many challenges that made me question if I had made the right choice.
People around me were sceptical of my dreams, and many thought it was just a passing phase. I even faced discouragement from close friends and loved ones who didn’t see the potential in me. There were times when I felt like giving up, but something inside me kept pushing me to soldier on.
One of the toughest challenges I faced was financial. There were days when I had to choose between buying food and investing in my ministry. But I never lost faith in God. I knew that He had called me to this path, and I trusted that He would provide for me.
As I continued to put in the work, I started to gain recognition as an up-and-coming gospel artiste who wrote powerful songs and preached the Word through my music. People started to take notice of my talent, and I felt a sense of validation that I was on the right path.
But even with this success, I still faced obstacles. I put my trust in someone who let me down, and it was a painful experience. However, I learned a valuable lesson: that we should never put our trust in people, but in God alone. He is the only one who will never forsake us.
Through it all, I kept my faith in God and continued to work hard, knowing that He was with me every step of the way. And now, I can say with confidence that I MADE IT by the grace of God. My song, “I Made It,” tells my story and encourages others to keep their faith and trust in God, no matter what they’re going through.
If you’re facing a tough season, know that it won’t last forever. Keep putting in the effort, and let prayer be your fuel on the journey. With God by your side, you can make it through anything.
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.
