Doreen Avio, a Ghanaian journalist and TV and radio personality, was named “Female Media Personality of the Year” at the Africa Young Talent Achievers Awards last week at the National Theatre in Accra.
Mrs. Avio won the coveted Africa Young Talent Achievers award ahead of her fellow nominees, Victoria Smith and Shirley Irene Thompson. The honor is the latest in a long line for the celebrated Ghanaian on-screen personality, who was named one of the “Top 50 Most Influential Young Ghanaians” in 2022 in February.
Doreen Avio is passionate about telling untold stories, from interviewing influential creative figures in music, movies, comedy, poetry, and more, to moderating private events and forums and hosting mega concerts in Ghana and abroad. She is an outspoken opponent of gender inequality in Ghana’s creative industry, particularly among disc jockeys (DJs). This campaign drew the attention of prominent government officials, including the Swiss Embassy in Ghana.
Her eloquence, poise, and intelligence cement her status as the queen of the screens. She is currently the host of “The Doreen Avio Show,” a popular lifestyle show on Joy Prime, as well as the founder of “The Doreen Avio Foundation,” which promotes the needs and education of girl children.
