Akosua Dentaa Amoateng is easily identified with Grow Unite and Build Africa (GUBA) – the Ghana UK Based Achievement (GUBA) Awards scheme that celebrates notable British-Ghanaians.
Dentaa’s loins are linked to Ghana and the United Kingdom because while she was birthed in 1983 at Juaso in Ghana’s Ashanti Region, she moved with her family to the UK aged five.
Dentaa’s Educational Journey
In the UK, Dentaa took her GCSE at the Walthamstow School for Girls and A Levels (Media Studies, Sociology and Performing Arts) at the Leyton Sixth Form College.
She holds a Degree in Nursing & Health from Buckinghamshire University.
While still a youth, she enjoyed performing in school plays and talent shows. Those skills would birth the Dentaa stage name and sire the entrepreneurial, acting, TV presenting, singing, production and managerial fortitude she’s come to be known by.
Dentaa Awards
Dentaa was awarded an MBE at Queen Elizabeth II’s 2016 Birthday Honors.
MBE being Member of the British Empire. It is the third highest ranking Order of the British Empire award (excluding a knighthood/damehood), behind CBE and then OBE.
Dentaa’s achievements with GUBA were acknowledged in 2011 when she was announced as one of the “Young Social Entrepreneurs of the Year” in the annual Future 100 Awards.
In June 2013, Dentaa was announced as the winner of the annual African Women in Europe (AWE) Award.
