I hope I can help inspire my sisters of Ghana to dare to chase their dreams,” she said.  

Media Personality Naa Ashorkor, will be the moderator of the panel discussion which will begin with a one-on-one conversation.  Cox will talk about the importance of having a blueprint for your career and her transition into acting and Broadway. 

Ashorkor will then introduce two accomplished Ghanaian women to the panel Actress/TV Producer, Yvonne Nelson and Media Personality Nana Aba Anamoah. 

The panel discussion will feature the women speaking on the business aspect of the industry, managing your image, handling work in a male-dominated industry, and finding your purpose.
