Anamoah explained that Ankrah’s mentorship went beyond just offering her a spot on a show. He gave her guidance on presentation, helped her understand the importance of preparation before going live and encouraged her to develop her own voice rather than emulate others. She described his influence as instrumental because it boosted her confidence and showed her how much hard work and professionalism mattered in the competitive world of television. Over time, these lessons helped her secure broader roles, build a strong following and become one of the most recognisable faces in Ghanaian media. (ghanaweb.com
