“I am deeply honored to attend this event in my capacity as a journalist. Covering such events expose journalists to many “aha moments” and offer exclusive content and information that may not be available to other delegate categories. It is a privilege to represent Ghana and share our story of youthful creativity and resilience on a platform that connects Africa’s brightest minds,” said Rev Erskine.
Rev Erskine’s participation not only marks a personal milestone in his broadcast journalism career but also reflects the growing recognition of Ghana’s creative and media influence within the broader African narrative
