Ghanaian entrepreneur, TV and radio presenter,Anita Erskine-Amaizo is by far one of the most treasured voices in the industry. In her CNN African Voices feature early this year,Anita
exhibited her bold, beautiful, mightily articulate and extremely
confident personality, as she described how desperately she wants to use
her career in Broadcasting to influence the way people see Africa in
its entirety.
The interview is still trending, with people celebrating her distinct articulation!
Given that this lady is 100% Ghanaian, it was definitely a moment of
pride for Ghana. Having spent more than a decade honing her skill and
her craft in Television hosting and adding radio to her portfolio a year
ago through Starr FM, it may not be so surprising that Erskine’s brand
as an African Broadcaster and Media Professional is increasingly
becoming recognized!
‘I’m extremely humbled by how many people urge me on at every turn. I
adopted what I call the ‘Ant Strategy’ to grow my brand and build little
by little, as consistently as possible. It’s has not been easy but I
have tried never to let my focus waver even in the toughest of times.
I’m grateful for the journey so far. Every day is a new day to start
another part of the journey. I am honored’.
Anita is known to touch projects that take her to the next level of her
professional journey and desire to inspire – Making of a Mogul, The One
Show, Discovery +233 to name a few. You may recall her win last year at
Viasat 1’s Jigwe Awards. She picked up the KpaKpaKpa Award which was
designed to poke fun at Anita’s multi faceted approach to business.
Anita Erskine Media is her multi media content production company she
launched on International Womens’ Day, through her first effort Sheroes
of Our Time.
‘Sheroes of our Time by Lux, is my way of getting Women to hear, see or
read about themselves. This way, they will know that the world
appreciates their efforts and respects their journey. At the same time, I
want the next generation of women to know that it is not easy. But it’s
extremely possible to realize their dreams!’
The television aspect of the campaign started airing on Viasat 1 last
night in celebration of International Women’s Day. If you find Anita’s
social media handle and that of her esteemed partners, Lux, Airtel,
Viasat 1 and Starrfm, you will readanita2 the stories of African Women
making a mark on their societies. The radio leg of Sheroes will air on
Starr FM and it’s affiliates.
Anita Erskine’s brand is synonymous with pure authentic, African power.
Her voice is undoubtedly a strong tool, using it to nurture dreams and
aspirations across the continent. For most, it is her smile that gives
off the notion that ‘everything will be alright!’
‘The Broadcasting and general communications landscape is broad and CAN
be tough. Running a multitude of projects simultaneously is extremely
challenging – financially and physically! But you can never allow a
challenge to cripple you. It’s actually fuel injection! This is the more
reason you need to work at it!’ says Erskine.wpid-a-erskinehmatthews-9
The way things are going and her acute grasp of strategy, we are
beginning to suspect that Erskine may soon be seen and heard from the
staples of an International network, much like the late Komla Dumor.
Fingers crossed. That would be another proud moment for Ghana.
