Ghanaian dance sensation Afronita, known by her stage name Afronitaaa, is using her newfound fame to advocate for the arts and empower underprivileged youth. Afronitaaa, who captivated audiences on Britain’s Got Talent with her talented protégé Abigail, is calling on the Ghanaian government to extend financial support to her dance school.

Her vision goes beyond simply running a dance school. Afronitaaa aspires to create a nurturing environment where disadvantaged children, who might not otherwise have the opportunity, can cultivate their talents and develop a passion for dance. In a heartfelt interview with Citi TV, Afronitaaa passionately appealed for any kind of assistance the government can provide. Her primary goal is to bridge the gap for “street kids who can’t afford my dance school,” ensuring financial constraints don’t bar them from artistic expression.

There appears to be a positive response to Afronitaaa’s initiative. In a promising development, she recently met with Mr. Andrews Egyapa Mercer, the Minister-designate for Tourism, Arts, and Culture. The meeting, which also included Deputy Minister of Creative Arts Mark Okraku Mantey, provided Afronitaaa with a platform to elaborate on her vision. She emphasized the potential impact her dance school could have on the lives of underprivileged youth; while underscoring the significance of government support in making her dream a reality. Afronitaaa’s dedication to nurturing young talent and fostering artistic growth in her community is a compelling story, and it remains to be seen if the government will answer her call.
