On Sunday, March 26, EMY Africa Magazine, in partnership with best-selling author & Emmy Award-winning TV host, Dr. Michelle Mckinney Hammond, hosted Emmy Award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph to a high-profile brunch in Accra to celebrate her visit to Ghana.

Top Ghanaian personalities Legendary English Actor Rudolph Walker, Ama K Abebrese, Nadia Buari, Martha Ankomah, Sika Osei, Elikem Kumordzi, and others joined the ‘Abbot Elementary favorite and author of the bestseller ‘Redefining Diva’ at the exclusive brunch which went down inside the plush new Mercedes Benz Ghana by CFAO Showroom at Airport City, Accra.

The actress showed up to the special event and donned a lovely red African print dress made by Ghanaian fashion designer, Pistis. Earlier in March, Sheryl made headlines in Ghana after she posted photos of her at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards in a Kente dress made by the brand. “The moment I put that dress on, I felt like a black Cinderella! I felt like royalty,” Sheryl said in a conversation with the chief editor of EMY Africa Magazine, Albert Chris Soboh.

“When Dr. McKinney told me Sheryl was coming to town, I said, wow let’s do this! Let’s give her a memorable event,” said Kojo Soboh, CEO of EMY Africa. Sheryl has been in Ghana exploring the country’s culture, people, and history since her arrival on March 20th. The brunch with the stars was a farewell party for her.

For Dr. McKinney Hammond, the event was a way to bring together players in the Ghanaian creative industry and create an atmosphere where they could draw inspiration from Sheryl’s journey. This is in tandem with the agenda of EMY Africa to inspire greatness.

Sheryl is not leaving Ghana empty-handed, accompanying her back home are warm gifts which were presented to her by Kojo Soboh on behalf of Ghanaian skincare brands Skin Gourmet, Talata Homes, Homeda Kente, and food processing brand BonneGraine.

The ambiance of the Mercedes Benz showroom gave the event an air of serenity and class. “When EMY Africa called on us, we had to answer as the brand represents what Mercedes Benz stands for which is excellence,” said Dennis Gawuga, the Communications Manager at Mercedes Benz Ghana by CFAO.
