A visibly excited Mama Awero described the waa gbayi experience as one of a kind saying “When I got the call that I would be celebrated by Trophy lager to commemorate International Women’s Day, I was surprised, but nothing prepared me for the spectacle that is the waa gbayi experience. I am elated and grateful to Trophy for deeming it fit to acknowledge my modest contributions to the film industry.”
