Commenting on why Prince David Osei was chosen as the Honoree for this prestigious honor, the Supreme Dynamic Talent Academy Awards founder and chairperson, Hon. Zino Lexili Ogazi, said:

"first of all, I'd like to congratulate all of the deserving winners & Honorees at this year's Supreme Dynamic Talent Academy-sponsored SDTA Awards.

Per the natural order, the most important role models should first be parents or caregivers. Albeit, the truth remains that, it's not always an easy feat, especially when we live In a world where fame and fortune constantly takes center stage, a society that is driven by people in the spotlight or a celeb-obsessed or influencer-obsessed culture that consistently skews negative. It can therefore be challenging to find true role models among the glitz and glamor of celebrity life.

We can’t deny the fact that nowadays, trends, attitudes, and behaviors are made popular by celebrities or even most recently, influencers. Social media platforms have these influencers cemented all over them, and even though not all youngins are old enough to be on those sites, they’re still being exposed to all kinds of people.

Albeit, there are shining stars out there who use their influence and success for the greater good, inspiring us all to strive for a better world. They are the needed role models for a new generation, whose success is inspiring emulation from others.

Sadly, the celebrities who do good deeds for people and the society, tend not to get as much media attention as those who display destructive and inappropriate behavior.

The celebrities with inappropriate behavior are rather talked about because their irresponsibility is more interesting to the media than the positive actions of famous people like Prince David Osei.
The media constantly hypes up reckless celebrities on television and gives them attention, causing impressionable persons to act out and follow the bad examples displayed on social media or TV, thinking it's the way to go.

Hence, SDTA Awards is igniting a conversation around the importance of positive role models and is on a mission to recognize and honor diverse role models, from everyday role models to celebrity role models -

We therefore found it pertinent to create different role model categories, to celebrate those who break boundaries in their fields to inspire the next generation positively because we understand that Children are the future and so what they are exposed to can either make or mar their lives.

In celebration of SDTA AWARDS 3 years anniversary, SDTA Awards decided to create and launch the Supreme African Celebrity Role Model Of the Year category, in order to shine a light on Celebrity role models because, every young or impressionable person imagines they can be anything, celebrities matters to them alot, hence they mirror them.

Celebrity role models often possess both personal and professional successes that inspire children to reach their own potential.

Albeit, not all celebs are great role models. Many are famous for things we'd never want the young people in our lives known for.

The proliferation of the Internet has made it easier than ever to achieve fame, with so many celebrities and influencers, it has increasingly become difficult for kids and teens to find those who are truly worthy of emulation or admiration.

Fear not tho, that's why we here at SDTA Awards, decided to make the task easier by annually naming our Supreme African Celebrity Role Model.

The select few who do make a conscious effort to make positive impacts, deserves to be recognized and appreciated, we need more of them in the world.- The celebrities who have not only excelled in their respective careers but also are willing to take a stand on important issues, give time or money to a worthy cause, dedicate themselves to philanthropy, social activism, and inspiring the next generation.

These outstanding celebrities demonstrate that being a celebrity is not just about accumulating wealth and accolades, but also about making a positive impact on society and empowering others. As role models, they exemplify the qualities of empathy, resilience, humility, and integrity, reminding us that success and kindness can indeed go hand in hand.

If we need a saner world for the next generation, we must first start from the celebrities and those in influential positions now.

So, join us as we celebrate our Supreme African Celebrity Role Model 2023, who has made it his mission to give back, promote change, and serve as a beacon of hope for us all.

The list of nominees was carefully considered and debated from the many celebrities who were nominated for the category in 2023 for their attempts to make their communities and the world a better place.

Eventually, Our first ever Supreme African Celebrity Role model for 2023 was a fairly easy choice.

We bestowed on Actor Prince David Osei, the Supreme African Celebrity Role model of the year because, he is absolutely worthy of the spotlight, he is a celebrity to Look to and show show the youngins in your life what amazing virtues of character strengths includes; such as sound judgment, a sense of responsibility, personal courage, self-mastery, prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, confidence, kindness, discipline and what perseverance look like, especially with a career spanning over 19 years! Prince David Osei is a public figure, who makes a great role model for the new and even older generation. He has given back to his community, accomplished his goals, and is living his best life without being destructive to himself or to others. When kids are Introduced to wholesome role models, that will inspire them to set positive life goals. We also hope that other celebrities can emulate him!”
