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.

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.
