In this era of Digitalization, most media companies are working vigorously to still maintain their audiences and relevance, thus discovering new faces and fresh content to entertain, educate, and increase audience.

With this, GHOne TV has a young French national of Ghanaian descent Edma Ohemaa Lawer also known as ‘Ohemaa Ghana’ as the host of the station’s engaging and enlightening TV shows ‘Toast’ and ‘TLS, aired on Sundays and Saturdays respectfully.

Ohemaa the second of three girls was born in Paris, France by Ghanaian parents. Her father hails from the Central Region of Ghana and her mother from the Bono Region who are currently based in the UK.

Edma is also the CEO of Eldon Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Consultancy firm. With an educational background in International Relations and Democratic Politics, Ms Lawer plans to use her platform and knowledge to impact Africa.

In May 2017, Ms Lawer came up with the idea to help young entrepreneurs advertise and promote their businesses through interviews in a form of questionnaires provided by herself on her blog due to the high level of views she received every day. Each week, a Young Entrepreneur of The Week (@YEW_GLOBAL) is selected by Ms Lawer and a blog about their various businesses and themselves is published on the website. The blog’s sole purpose is to encourage and motivate other young adults to become entrepreneurs at an early stage of their lives by proving to them that it can be done.
