Popular television host Deloris Frimpong Manso, widely known as ‘Delay’ has picked the flagship prize in the third Verna Ghana Outstanding Women Awards (GOWA).
The entrepreneur took the coveted Outstanding Woman of the Year at this year’s Awards Gala.
Delay pipped Nana Ama McBrown, Joselyn Dumas, Margaret Afriyie and Cynthia Yeboah to the topmost award at the GOWA, an initiative to honour and award women making significant progress and impact in their various fields.
She said as a university dropout who came from very humble beginnings, her win should serve as an inspiration to women across the country.
“This is the biggest, Woman of the Year, that’s big. I’m overwhelmed and humbled and challenged and inspired at the same time,” she said.
“There is saying that to whom much is given much is expected, it means that I have been tasked to do more to push myself and keep inspiring women that it doesn’t matter where you are coming from, your looks, it doesn’t matter your educational background.
“Because as a university dropout and look at where I am today? I am the woman of the year and I am dedicating this award to women in all industries”.
The award was Delay’s second of the night. She had earlier picked up the Outstanding Woman TV Personality for her television program, the Delay Show which has been running since 2008.
According to Mrs Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, the Chief Executive Officer of ASKOF Productions (organisers of GOWA), the event acknowledges game-changers in their respective fields of endeavour, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic.
