At the Africa Women and Children Conference (AFRIWOCC) Concert held at Kempinski Hotel, the Second Lady of Ghana, Mrs. Samira Bawumia, displayed quick-thinking and exemplary communication skills when she averted a potential blunder by musician Kidi.
Kidi walked into the waiting room to greet Mrs. Bawumia, who was present with renowned actors David Dontoh and Akofa Edjeani Asiedu.
After warmly hugging the Second Lady, Kidi attempted to leave but was subtly signaled by Mrs. Bawumia to acknowledge the other guests.
In an impressive display of understanding, Kidi promptly turned back and greeted both David Dontoh and Akofa Edjeani Asiedu.
The social media sphere was quick to commend Mrs. Bawumia for her intelligence and use of sign language, which prevented a potentially embarrassing situation.
The incident added to her reputation as a public figure who values effective communication and diplomacy.
The AFRIWOCC Concert was organized as part of the Samira Empowerment and Humanitarian Projects (SEHP) initiative, under the auspices of the Ghanaian President's office.
The event aimed to amplify the voices of women and children in climate action, drawing together prominent government officials, policymakers, experts, international organizations, civil society representatives, and grassroots community leaders from across Africa.
The conference, themed "Amplifying the Voices of Women and Children in Climate Action," spanned two days and addressed the impact of climate change on women and children.
It also advocated for policies that prioritize their interests in climate change regulations and development.
Moreover, it established a network of organizations dedicated to promoting women's and children's roles in the climate change economy.
Mrs. Samira Bawumia, as the Special Guest for the event, demonstrated her commitment to climate action and women's empowerment through her astute participation.
