Entrepreneur and philanthropist, Stacy Amewoyi, has won two international awards in the USA and Canada.
The former video vixen was awarded the special ‘Role Model’ award at the 19th annual Ghanaian-Canadian Achievement Awards held at 65 Claireport Convention and Banquet Hall in Canada on November 10.
This award was in recognition of her contribution to the progressive rise and empowerment of the underprivileged.
Additionally, she was honoured for excellence in entrepreneurship as the 3G ‘Author of the Year’ at the 2019 3G Awards held on November 23, at Berean Hall, in Bronx, USA.
She won the award with her maiden book titled 'The King's Choice'.
''I am extremely honoured to be receiving such an important award, 3G Author of the Year. I am earnestly grateful for the recognition I have received for my work because I am very sure that every other nominee for this award was as capable if not more, of winning this award,'' Stacy Amewoyi said after picking up the 3G award.
For the past decade, she has solely focused her attention on creating jobs for people through her Stacy M Foundation by offering free vocational training.
She has also donated to many on the streets of New Jersey and across Ghana.
Stacy in several interviews detailed her struggles in life as an orphan who broke every gravitational force of failure to climb the success ladder by finding comfort and building a strong enterprise for herself.
The former video vixen has worked with top Ghanaian acts including VIP, 4X4, Pat Thomas, Dada KD and many others. Earlier this year, she donated items including clothes and food to the homeless in New Jersey.
Stacy Amewoyi is planning to do a similar thing in December in Ghana as part of her annual philanthropic works.
