Firstly, I just want to thank everyone for your concerns and caring messages after Sulley got injured playing for the Black Stars last week in France. I am delighted to be able to tell you however that he is well on the mend and is almost back to normal now!

Sorry it’s been a long time since my last post, I have been so incredibly busy with different interviews and shoots, also trying to juggle sorting everything out for mine and Sulley’s new home in Ghana! I have been shipping lots of our belongings over to the new house and trying to decide what to send there and what to keep in Milan has been really difficult. I hope I get the chance to go out there soon and see our new place and also see how my school and the new kids that I met a few weeks ago are getting on!

As some of you might know, the 1st December is World AIDS Day which supports a cause very close to my heart. I have done a lot of charity work with kids affected by and infected with AIDS and HIV, so I really wanted to travel to Ghana this week and spend the day visiting some orphanages that work with these kids. Unfortunately, I am unable to make the trip to Ghana this time around, but I am planning to visit on the 19th December to make a donation to an orphanage in Somanya which I have extensively worked with in the past. I can’t wait to see the smiles on the kids faces! I am also anxious to know how they are getting on with school and just their daily activities in general.

Everyone please try to do something, no matter how small, to help raise awareness of AIDS and HIV on 1st December – even posting a tweet could bring one more person to join the fight against the disease.

Speak soon,

Hey guys,

Phew have I had a busy but very exciting few days! I flew back to London on Friday for an interview with Inspirational Women’s Magazine who have revealed that they want to feature me as their Inspirational Woman of the Month in December! I’m really excited as they also want me to be on the cover of their magazine in the New Year, so watch out for that!

On Sunday night I attended the Ghana UK Based Achievement Awards (GUBA Awards) at the Park Plaza which was a truly amazing event. It’s really fantastic that so many people gathered together to celebrate great achievers from our culture. I had the great opportunity to present the award for the Best Radio Presenter which I was delighted to award to the talented Kwaku Owusu Frimpong of Rainbow Radio.

I’ve included a few pictures of me all dressed up from Sunday!

There were loads of great personalities at the event including a number of top footballers such as Anton Ferdinand, Asamoah Gyan, John Paintsil and the new Arsenal player, Emmanuel Frimpong, so it was a real pity Sulley couldn’t make it due to his training commitments.

I also got to meet His Excellency Prof Kwaku Danso-Boafo, the high commissioner representing Ghana in London, and Dentaa, the Founder of the GUBA awards, which was a real honour.

A great weekend, but now it’s time to get back to work. Yesterday, I had an all day photo shoot and an interview for a magazine, and today I am leaving London behind again for the time being and flying back to Milan… Will update you again soon!

Hey everyone, I am finally back in Milan and have enjoyed spending time with Sulley after not seeing him for such a long time! It’s great to be back but winter is definitely beginning to approach and the days are getting colder – unlike in Ghana!

I know that this relaxing and quiet period will not last for long though. I already have a number of exciting projects in the pipeline and a busy few months ahead. I am travelling back to London later this week for the Ghana UK-Based Achievement (GUBA) awards on Saturday night which should be really fun as I’m presenting an award and a lot of my friends will be there. Next week I have a photo shoot for a magazine and an interview with another publication to discuss the Menaye Charity Foundation which I am really looking forward to.

Busy times ahead but I am excited to share my exciting experiences with you guys all the way.
