Commenting in a nomination letter to Mr Mason, CEO and Founder of GUBA Enterprise, Dentaa Amoateng MBE, said, “this is to acknowledge your achievements in the music and movie industry in America, coupled with your zealous achievements in the field of entertainment, we are pleased to nominate you in the Entertainment Mogul category”.
The letter further stated, “your work as a producer, alongside your contribution to society through your philanthropic deeds, enhances the SDGs Goals 2 – (zero hunger) by raising awareness through music”.
“If ever there was a time to unite and celebrate the best of diversity, it is now. It is incredibly important to recognise the achievements of role models and community organizations across the world that deserve recognition for their work and impact, so that we as Africans, can tell our own stories.
The GUBA Awards, therefore, aim to reward individuals who continue to persist and show great courage within their various fields. We are convinced that your nomination and presence at the awards will be a testament to your continued dedication to success” the letter concluded.
