The concept behind the Gathering of Africa’s Best Awards sends out an exceptionally positive message about Africa and African People.  It also provides enormous inspiration and motivation for others to bring out the best in themselves to achieve, to succeed, and to shine.

Many congratulations to everyone who has been nominated for an award at this year’s event and as a Patron of the GAB awards, I look forward to continuing working with The Trumpet for the promotion of African people all around the globe.
