Embosuohemaa Ama Gyenfa: Celebrating a Media Leader and Advocate for Women
As Ghana joins the rest of the world to commemorate International Women’s Day, attention has turned to remarkable women who are shaping industries and inspiring change. Among them is Martha Gyenfa Frimpong, affectionately known in public life as Embosuohemaa Ama Gyenfa, a distinguished broadcast journalist whose influence continues to grow across Ghana’s media landscape.
Currently serving as a Senior Journalist and Management Member of Tobinco Media Group, one of the largest media platforms in Ghana, Gyenfa plays a pivotal role in shaping content and broadcasting excellence across the Group’s seven media outlets: Atinka TV, Bullet TV, Atinka FM, Agyenkwa FM, Ahotor FM, Atinkaonline and Bullettvonline.
Gyenfa is widely known to television audiences as the vibrant host of the morning show on Atinka TV, where her engaging interviewing style and insightful commentary keep viewers informed and inspired each day. She also serves as a respected news anchor on Atinka TV and Atinka FM, bringing credibility, clarity and professionalism to news delivery.
Beyond news broadcasting, Gyenfa has become a household name through her role as the charismatic Master of Ceremonies for “DI ASA,” the award-winning dance reality show for plus-size women. The programme has gained national and international recognition for promoting confidence, body positivity and entertainment, while celebrating the beauty and talent of women of all sizes.
Her journey into media excellence is supported by a strong academic foundation. Gyenfa holds a degree in Strategic Communications from AUCB and has further sharpened her professional expertise at the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) and the Institute of Commercial Management (ICM). She has also broadened her knowledge in Oil and Gas, reflecting her diverse intellectual interests.
Outside the newsroom and studio lights, Gyenfa is equally admired for her advocacy work and entrepreneurial spirit. She is a passionate campaigner for menstrual health awareness and girl-child empowerment, championing initiatives aimed at ensuring dignity and opportunity for young girls across Ghana. Her advocacy has received national recognition, particularly when President John Dramani Mahama fulfilled his commitment to provide free sanitary pads for female students, a cause she has consistently supported.
Colleagues and viewers alike describe her as warm, approachable and driven by a deep sense of purpose. Whether moderating discussions, delivering breaking news or uplifting women through entertainment and advocacy, Gyenfa continues to use her platform to influence society positively.
Away from her professional commitments, she enjoys cooking and listening to highlife music, moments that allow her to relax and reconnect with the cultural rhythms that inspire her.
As Ghana celebrates women making meaningful contributions to society, Martha Gyenfa Frimpong stands out as a symbol of resilience, talent and service. Her journey in journalism and advocacy underscores the powerful role women continue to play in shaping the nation’s media, empowering communities and inspiring the next generation.
On this International Women’s Day, her story serves as a reminder that dedication, compassion and vision can transform both media and society for the better.
