Hon. Gizella Tetteh-Agbotui, Deputy Minister of Works, Housing, and Water Resources under H.E. John Dramani Mahama’s administration, recently expressed her admiration for Diana Hopeson, a trailblazer in Ghana’s gospel music scene.
Diana Hopeson is not only a celebrated gospel artist but also a passionate advocate for cultural preservation. Her remarkable contributions include leading a team to translate several books of the Bible into the Awutu language and producing the Jesus film in Awutu, a significant step in promoting indigenous languages and heritage.
Awutu, one of the three Guan states in Ghana’s Central Region, alongside Senya and Efutu, holds a rich cultural history. Hopeson’s dedication to her roots as a daughter of Awutu has earned her immense respect and gratitude. Her work bridges faith and culture, ensuring that the Awutu language and traditions remain vibrant for future generations.
Hon. Tetteh-Agbotui’s heartfelt appreciation highlights the importance of such initiatives in nation-building. Diana Hopeson’s legacy in gospel music and cultural preservation continues to inspire, proving that true progress lies in honoring our past while embracing the future. Her efforts remind us that service to one’s community is a powerful act of love and dedication.
