“It was an interesting experience working with other people who are not in your team as the crew, but due to the love of the work, it was successful,” she revealed.
Abena Ghana noted that her guests shared stories of their experiences in SA, how life has been for them, the ups and downs as well as how they subdued difficulties encountered.
She urged viewers to expect nothing but the best moments of fun, melancholy, and inspiration.
Over the years, the show has given people, irrespective of their backgrounds, the opportunity to share their life experiences and other lessons learnt.
This has covered personalities from diverse industries like entertainment, religion, business, lifestyle, and health among others,” she said.
