Light at the end of the tunnel

The presenter eventually moved to a different media house but in a completely different position.

A year later, she was randomly asked to sit in for someone who was doing the morning show for a month.

Dreams do come true

Two weeks into hosting the show, AJ revealed, the ratings of the show shot up and after a month, she was asked to host the show full-time.

"That position as a mid-morning host was exactly what I had prayed for 3 years prior", AJ intimated.

Miss Sarpong added that not only did she finally occupy her dream job position, she also ended up becoming the most listened to mid-morning show within a year according to the ratings.
