KANYA KING- THE WOMAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ANUAL MOBO AWARDS

Kanya King!

The mind behind the MOBO AWARDS

Looking Casually Chic @ her Awards..must be a great feeling!

Fabulous..so nice 2 see 1 of us realizing her dreams.

Kanya who is half Ghanian & half Irish, grew up in the UK. When she lost her daddy at the age of 13, she took a very mature approach for her age by getting any kind of jobs to pay her education fees.(worked @ a bakery, she created her own promotion business passing out flyers)

Anywhoo w/the experience she built over the years, she was offered a position @

Carlton Television as a Senior Researcher for the Chrystal Rose Show...
Seeing the lack of black Artists represented @ Awards shows she had the bold idea to create an Award show that would recognise the talents of our black peeps...Of couse it wasn't easy task being that $$ was needed, she decided to re-mortgag her hizzy..that's how dedicated she was.....!!

The first MOBO Awards were broadcasted in 1996..it's been 11 years and it's going stronger and stronger...even American Artists are honored to be invited...it's a prestigious Award.. !!

Not only does Kanya has an eye for business, she's also a humanitarian, she works w/such non profit organisations as the Home Task Force (which help disavantaged youth)

Oh and 1 last impressive thing, Kanya was once invited by the Queen for a lunch which celebrates amazing women such as the author JK Rowling (Harry Potter writter).....how about that:)

Anywhoo , I am proud to see an African sista doing great things @ such a high level!!

Djahaa Ghanian Women are Fierce:)

Eyee Wayee:)
