Renowned Ghanaian Gospel artiste Ohemaa Mercy has opened up about the challenges she faces in mentoring young talents.
In a heartfelt discussion with host Bernice Owusuwaa on GhanaWeb TV’s Talkertainment, she acknowledged that there have been moments of regret in her mentoring journey, saying, “a lot.”
She, however, said she was committed to her role as a mentor due to a divine revelation she received in 2020.
"I'm a mother and for me, God gave me a revelation about four years ago when I saw myself with a lot of breasts all around me, I prayed and the Lord gave me a revelation that he had made me a mother," she shared.
Seeing herself as a mother and her mentees as her children, Ohemaa Mercy explained that this revelation has guided her approach to mentorship, helping her to embrace the responsibilities that come with it.
"I always pray to God to give me that big heart, to be able to contain every bit of thing that comes my way in terms of a mother and a son and a daughter relationship. So for me, yes, sometimes you regret, but you can't let go of a daughter or a son," she said.
She believes in the importance of supporting and guiding the next generation, despite the inevitable challenges.
Born Mercy Twum-Ampofo, Ohemaa Mercy grew up in Koforidua and holds a Teachers Certificate 'A'.
She debuted in 2004 with the album "Adamfo Papa," gaining widespread recognition. Her music aims to inspire and support the needy. Her second album, "Edin Jesus" (2007), was a best-seller and won multiple awards.
Ohemaa Mercy has released several successful albums and performed with international artists. Her notable singles include "Aseda" and "We Praise Your Name."
