Known as Abena Kay in the media space, the young, vibrant and eloquent lady is the hostess of Pink Show on Kumasi-based YFM.

The Pink Show was spe­cially created to empower, encourage and acknowledge distinguished women in society.

It provides the platform for a hearty conversation with women with the inten­tion to motivate the younger female generation with their stories.

The show also allows Abe­na to express her concerns about the problems in soci­ety especially with regard to the less privileged.

She believes that society can do better by accepting and providing a helping hand to the vulnera­ble and less privileged.

Ms Abena started radio in 2017 as a co-hostess for the first edition of YFM Mid-Morning Radio show. She was later made hostess of the maiden ‘Pick N Play’ aired every Saturday.

Before YFM, she worked with Silver FM as a panelist on the Silver Anigye and Kes­sben Music Plus as a pundit and a sit-in-hostess.

In 2019, she was offered the role of Drive Time Show hostess on Focus FM and KNUST’s campus-based radio where she served for three years. She moved back to YFM in March 2022 to re­sume her role as Pick N Play hostess.

She loves to talk and command listening which got her into taking up the emceeing job and gradually carving a niche as one of the best in the industry.

That aligns with her dream of being the voice that speak for those who do not have power or the plat­form.

As a professional MC, she puts a lot of effort into making every event special and memorable for her clients.

Abena Konadu Yiadom hails from Ntonso-Aboaso in the Ashanti region and lived most of her grow­ing years in Ku­masi. She is the first born of four girls and commit­ted to making life comfortable for her younger siblings.

She had her Senior High School (SHS) education at Amaniampong SHS and later had a Diploma in Media Stud­ies at Premier Media College.

At her leisure time, she would listen to music, espe­cially ones from her favour­ite, Sarkodie. She considers herself as an ardent fun of Sarkodie. She also loves Ki­naata, Nathaniel Bassey and would jump on any Cece Winans song for inspira­tion.

She is a de­voted Christian and her favourite scripture is Joshua 21:45,”Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; everyone was fulfilled.”

Her favourite quote is “You cannot skip the stages of life. For your peace of mind and a suc­cess that lasts, you need to go through the mill. Grow through what you go through. That’s life.”

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.

He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.

Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.

The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
