Sokoo Hemaa Kukua's tribute to late father

What made the veteran media personality message particularly poignant was her reference to a final conversation with her father.

The Anigye Krom TV show host wrote that his words, spoken to her just the Saturday before his passing, still ring in her ears.

Though she did not share the specific details of what he said, the weight of those last words was clear throughout her tribute.
