Multiple award-winning rapper Kwaw Kese, last week Saturday, joined his daughter Docilla Nanahemaa Botwe as she received the award for the ‘Pan-African / National Illustration of the Year’ at the third edition of the annual Ghana Models Awards Juniors.
The event came off at Ghana International School in Accra last Saturday. Docilla promised to use the award to go further and bring more glory back to the scheme. The Founder of the initiative Jerry Wonder Sampson stated that this year sought to celebrate talent but more importantly potential.
Docilla Ohemaa Botwe expressed her excitement in a heartfelt speech as her celebrity daddy stood by her on stage.”Many thanks to my parents and every one of you. By accepting and obtaining this honour, I assure you that my future actions will be beneficial and efficient.
I will make sure that this award is only the beginning; since there are more to come in future”, she said.
Also, the Founder of the scheme Jerry Wonder Sampson explained that parents needed to pay more attention to helping the children reach their full potential and added that the Ghana Models Awards scheme was assisting in that area.

“Here, we don’t just focus on talent but, we highlight potential as part of our criteria for nominations because, we believe when the potential of a child is discovered and nurtured the right way, the child will end up contributing his best to the society and globe. Simply put, your talent is what you can do. But, your potential is who you can become”, he said.
The event was hosted by singer and media personality ‘Stongal’ and sponsored by Ghandour Cosmetics, Daily Guide Network and Ciprina Natural Fruit Juice.
