Being awarded is not a new thing to Missy BK. Her irresistible music has fetched her some prizes. But a recognition for something that does not have a direct (at least for now) link with singing and dancing is a new development in the life of the young musician cum humanitarian. Little did the Canada-based Cameroonian urban singer know that what she started just a few months ago as a manifestation of her love for humanity and desire to put a smile on the face of the less privileged, was going to transport salient signals to the rest of the world. Naturally, it caught the attention of organizers of the maiden edition of the Cameroon Career Women Awards (CCWA). Meeting in London on Saturday, March 14 for the awards show, they declared Missy BK winner of the Best Charity Act awards. This came prior to an inspiring display of largesse via The Missy BK Foundation which the singer launched, not too long ago. Such gestures consisted of sponsoring some five students in secondary school in Cameroon and organizing a Christmas party in honour of some 38 orphans of the Hephzibah Handicapped and Orphanage Training Production and Ecstasy Center (HOTPEC) in Lower Bokova Buea, South West region of Cameroon. TIPTOPSTARS caught up with Missy to find out how she received news of this recognition. She spoke to Editor Ernest Kanjo from Montreal, Canada. Excerpts! |
