All Grown Up

Who would have thought that Marietta Grant DeGrant would be a nominee for an award, be on a red carpet and would attend a corporate event watching classy performances? That day was Friday, 20^th May for the Ghana Blogging and Social Media Awards.

The event was held at the Chartered Institute of Bankers’ Hall, at East Legon. I attended with my brother/personal photographer.

The event started with two poetic presenters; Poetra Asantewaa and 100%. There were beautiful and classy musical by Faith Bekoe and Cina Soul.

I was nominated for Best New Blog and Best Blogger but did not win any of them. At least, I got to take a picture with Efo Dela, one of my favourite person on social media.

The best part of the event was when I was served with kelewele. Yes! This year, kelewele has gone missing in action in Winneba and so, it’s been long since I ate some. This was a real kelewele date, and it was served in those leaves, it looked like waakye from afar.

Though, I did not win any award, I was enjoying the moment I was living at that hour. Corporate table, corporate food, music, and the kelewele. Now, that’s the real deal.

A mountain of gratitude to those who voted for me and were supporting me. I am very much grateful for everything you did for me. Cheers with a cup of sobolo made by Wanjo. I love you. We will make it next time.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners. Only a few female bloggers and social media personalities won the awards. I hope next year, more female bloggers win the awards.
