Mrs Delphine Brew-Hammond, “Every year, we put out a call for contestants and host auditions in each region, but this year we did things a bit differently to ensure the safety of our team and judges.”

She explained that the global pandemic has forced the world to a halt and sharply limited interaction between people to curtail the spread of the novel Coronavirus.

Mrs Brew-Hammond added that in view of the new normal, they devised a strategy to  bounce back with an online registration which saw numerous young ladies around the country showed interest in participating in this year’s competition.

She noted that they ensured proper safety measures were in place before the auditions, which included handwashing materials and hand sanitisers, and also observing social distancing

“The 38 semi-finalists selected were immediately assigned tasks to whittle down to the final  16 candidates who would make it to the house and  eventually win the top responsibility of representing Ghana as a premiere tourism destination both locally and globally,” Mrs.Brew-Hammond revealed.

She also expressed her appreciation to Tang Palace Hotel, Max International, Lele Foods, Voltic Ghana, Accra City Hotel, Max Beauty, Golden Tulip, Crown Apartamento, Adonko Bitters and a host of others for their continuous support.

AfroGee and Kofi Kinaata team up on ‘Adom Bi’ to encourage youth

In a bid to uplift disheartened youth, singer cum rapper AfroGee has partnered with award-winning musician Kofi Kinaata on a new inspirational single, ‘Adom Bi.’

Drawing from his personal struggles, AfroGee shares in the song how God’s grace transformed his life when all other efforts failed. 

“I’ve tried everything—education, hustling on the streets, and other means—but God’s grace came through in ways I never imagined,” he reflects in the lyrics, attributing his success entirely to divine intervention.  

Kofi Kinaata adds his own testimony to complete the song: “I used to be overlooked and faced countless setbacks. Now, what God has done is beyond words—I need help expressing my gratitude. Today, bank alerts are flowing, and Jah never fails.”

AfroGee explained that the song was born from a deep desire to encourage the youth who may feel stuck or hopeless. “Having experienced that sense of despair myself, I knew I had to use my story to inspire others,” he shared.  

He also emphasized the importance of collaborating with Kofi Kinaata, saying, “Who better to join me than Kinaata? We’re childhood friends from Effiakuma, and I know his story and talent would make this song truly impactful.”  

Produced by WillisBeatz, ‘Adom Bi’ is available for streaming on all major platforms and can be accessed via [linktr.ee/mightyafrogee](https://linktr.ee/mightyafrogee).
