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, 20th 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.
