What can I say folks, what a year. Some things gained/achieved, some delays, some pain (real pain) but mostly beauty, -the beauty of the realisation that what mattered last year no longer matters, that the dreams that didn’t come true will mos-def come true next year …but mostly –that without God, -we can achieve –nothing. I pray Gods love, his truth, his Blessings, his grace and his guiding arms around you….Big love, Paulina xxx
And to see us through CHRIST BIRTHDAY 2010 and into the new year…the very special Guvna B, a MOBO award winning UK based, gospel artist of Ghanaian origin, singing the heart-felt 'I Need You' with the highly talented Cynthia Erivo. I truly love this brother and believe that 2011 is his and your –year (Amen).. So enjoy! For more information about Guvna B or to buy/download his music visit: http://www.guvnab.com/

Asamoah Gyan in FourFourTwo Magazine…
It’s good to be Black Star’s Asamoah Gyan -right now! Young, good looking and fit, a 13 million pounds deal with Sunderland , two goals against (my favourite football team) –Chelsea, and now a recording artist –what’s not to love? You can read more about Ghana ’s favourite son in an interview with FourFourTwo magazine, their November 2010 Issue (its still available). http://fourfourtwo.com/

Fashion: Christie Brown’s latest collection’s fierce….
(Photo Credit: New African Woman Issue 7)
Looking for the ever illusive copy of the latest American Vogue –I saw the latest copy of New African Woman, -sneaked-a-peek and guess what, I ended up buying it. As you all know by now, I don’t tend to go near so called ‘black publications’ especially ones aimed at the African ‘anything’ –because even though they claim to be about Africans, I feel they only celebrate one or two African countries –and I just don’t have the time! Anyway, this particular issue is totally inspirational and jammed packed with GH’ers –including: international make-up artist -Ashley Avorgah, singer -NaNa Asante, actress –Belinda Owusu, founder of UK ’s Mission Dine Club and the first black woman to become a Dame in the UK –Dame Betty Asafu-Adjaye, -and an insightful interview with Ghanaian/Lebanese actor –Majid Michel. But my favourite piece in Issue 7 of New African Woman is an editorial featuring Christie Brown’s latest collection ….it’s fierce!
