Everyone has a role model, someone they look up to and want to emulate. We all had several growing up, then as life hit we started to be a bit more selective (and conservative) on our big dreams and aspirations. Some do, but many realize that by overcoming our individual challenges, in whatever small corner, we in turn are role models for those coming up: a North Star for the younger generation to learn from.

Thanks to Ghana Think Foundation's Junior Camp event, classmates and I had the opportunity to go back to Presec - Legon and engage with the young men who will fill our shoes and do better someday, very soon. #GamorLegacy

"Don't worry so much about your major; just start finding solutions to problems and you will be fine!"

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? Find the person there and how they got where you want to be.

You can achieve any dream, with hard work, dedication and perseverance

First text message I received earlier this week caught my attention. It didn't have to do with team 1000 words photos,  the Mpwr radio show or Youtube GH video projects but rather with my personal twitter account *pause*.

The last few weeks twitter was ablaze with #OccupyGhana #OccupyFlagstaff; US Embassy Tweet versus President Mahama; & even more disturbing #HannahTetteh #HannahTettehSon #Sextape tweets.

Yep, you guessed it, the Minister for Affairs, Hon. Hannah Tetteh responded to tweets about Occupy Ghana, here. Most who who participated felt her tweet on #OccupyFlagstaff was condescending. Hon. Tetteh chastised the US Embassy's tweet here and shortly after, twitter erupted thanks to two leaked sex tapes of students: one featuring Hannah Tetteh's son, oopsie!

I digress, but you can empathize with my anxiety though right? Twitter in Ghana seemed fixated on the scandalous, anyone would have reason for caution. Gratefully here's the image of the text message I received below: listing under New Media: Emmanuel Gamor & my @itakephotos1985 twitter account as one of the 100 Most Influential People on Twitter in Ghana:

Maria Tolsa, journalist from Finnish TV YLE flew into Accra to cover a story on young entrepreneurs making strides in their home country. My Y FM homie, J. O. E. L. and I were captured on camera.

The segment we're featured starts at 11:05: http://areena.yle.fi/tv/2197046

It's amazing that it's 2014 and more importantly Season 2 for the Mpwr show on YFM already. Besides being excited to come on radio and share even more excited stories with our audience, it is an opportunity for the team E. A. Double A and DJ Jay Dee to hang out, welcome you into our cockpit and take flight!
Goals for Season 2 are to take the platform we've been blessed with and foster positive collaborations with already existing organizations/initiatives for more impact. If more hands are at the plough our impact is increased exponentially, if more like-minded young people tackle a challenge together, the solution grows from a movement to a revolution and we are excited to tell these stories.



We have new features and segments to the show: Fastest Fingerz segments where we share FREE (yes, FREE no strings attached) phone credits every episode from MTN, Vodafone, Airtel, Tigo & GLO! We also have an opportunity for Blog-To-Win blog submissions (no more than 250 words reactions to each episode) to win movie tickets as well as!



   

If that isn't exciting enough we are extremely psyched to bring you the Real Rap news update segments, the Pump it or Dump It (new/user submitted songs), Would You Rather (WWR) Question of the Day and the Power Mix of uninterrupted DJ Jay Dee Mixology at its finest with even more insightful and wonderful resource persons for this season's episodes.

The Monthly themes for Season 2:

January - DoingBetter'14

February - Partnering for Success

March - 1 GHS 1 Pocket

April - I Am What I do
