Ghanaian broadcaster, Nana Aba Anamoah has teamed up with three celebrated female African personalities for this year’s edition of the Woman of Valour (WoV) event.
WoV is a women empowerment event that seeks to bring together strong, courageous women to share their stories of triumph, losses and life experiences to inspire others to greatness.
This year’s event is themed, “Against All Odds, encapsulating the spirit of those who rise above adversity and defy expectations and who navigate life obstacles with unwavering determination.”
It would be held at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) auditorium on March 7, to mark International Women’s Day.
According to the organisers, patrons would be uplifted through insightful stories shared by renowned Nigerian actress Rita Dominic, astute South African media personality Bonang Matheba and Ghana’s celebrated film producer, Shirley Frimpong Manso.
Speaking at the launch last Thursday, Founder of WoV, Nana Aba Anamoah said the new venue is spacious enough to accommodate the audience.
According to her, people take advantage of others when they assume leadership positions.
“If you cannot hold another woman’s hand to help her grow, then you are not worth your salt, “she said.
She also urged women in leadership positions to push the women’s agenda for a wonderful society.
The Swiss Ambassador to Ghana, Simone Giger on her part, touched on the need to do away with gender discrimination for development.
She also called for deliberate moves towards positive development through alliances by influential women in society commending the WoV initiative.

Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.

Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats singer Kuami Eugene Marfo known in showbiz circles as Kuami Eugene has urged fellow musicians and entertainers to use their influence on social media and other platforms to champion causes that positively impact society.
The award-winning artiste made the call during a UNICEF Ghana birth registration advocacy campaign in Bepoase in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, where he joined officials from UNICEF Ghana and the Births and Deaths Registry to raise awareness about the importance of registering children at birth.
He explained that artistes wield significant influence and should leverage platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram to amplify important social initiatives and encourage behavioural change.
The musician, who has partnered UNICEF Ghana on several child-focused campaigns, said he had a special interest in issues affecting children and was committed to supporting efforts that improved their welfare and future opportunities.
He noted that birth registration was critical because it established a child’s legal identity and ensured recognition as a Ghanaian citizen.
The advocacy drive forms part of UNICEF Ghana’s efforts to improve birth registration rates across the country through community engagements, public education and collaboration with traditional authorities.
The musician said he remained focused on creating quality music while continuing to support social causes that contribute to national development, particularly initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children. –GNA
