GWR holder speaks about GWR attempt challenges
Ghanaian Guinness World Record holder, Chelsea-Abigail Owusu Ansah, in an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh about the challenges of embarking on a record-breaking attempt
The GWR holder, who broke the record by locking 27 heads of hair in eight hours, noted that one major setback on attempting hers was support.
She noted that Chef Smith organising a fake GWR cook-a-thon attempt and parading his fake GWR certificate made it difficult for Ghanaians to believe in her attempt.
"I did not really get any support because people did not believe me because of Chef Smith and Ghanaians do not like researching."
Afua Asantewaa's mum supports her
YEN.com.gh reported that media personality Afua Asantewaa Aduonum's mother was at her GWR sing-a-thon attempt.
The elderly lady caught the attention of many Ghanaians when she danced energetically and sang the songs her daughter performed.
Many people admired the fact that Afua Asantewaa's mother, despite her old age decided to support her child through thick and thin.
