One of Ghana’s fast-ris­ing Radio Personali­ties, Ms Lordina Abena Konadu Yiadom is living a childhood dream of becom­ing the voice of the vulnera­ble and providing the plat­form for the less privileged.

Known as Abena Kay in the media space, the young, vibrant and eloquent lady is the hostess of Pink Show on Kumasi-based YFM.

The Pink Show was spe­cially created to empower, encourage and acknowledge distinguished women in society.

It provides the platform for a hearty conversation with women with the inten­tion to motivate the younger female generation with their stories.

The show also allows Abe­na to express her concerns about the problems in soci­ety especially with regard to the less privileged.

She believes that society can do better by accepting and providing a helping hand to the vulnera­ble and less privileged.

Ms Abena started radio in 2017 as a co-hostess for the first edition of YFM Mid-Morning Radio show. She was later made hostess of the maiden ‘Pick N Play’ aired every Saturday.

Before YFM, she worked with Silver FM as a panelist on the Silver Anigye and Kes­sben Music Plus as a pundit and a sit-in-hostess.

In 2019, she was offered the role of Drive Time Show hostess on Focus FM and KNUST’s campus-based radio where she served for three years. She moved back to YFM in March 2022 to re­sume her role as Pick N Play hostess.

She loves to talk and command listening which got her into taking up the emceeing job and gradually carving a niche as one of the best in the industry.

That aligns with her dream of being the voice that speak for those who do not have power or the plat­form.

As a professional MC, she puts a lot of effort into making every event special and memorable for her clients.

Abena Konadu Yiadom hails from Ntonso-Aboaso in the Ashanti region and lived most of her grow­ing years in Ku­masi. She is the first born of four girls and commit­ted to making life comfortable for her younger siblings.

She had her Senior High School (SHS) education at Amaniampong SHS and later had a Diploma in Media Stud­ies at Premier Media College.

At her leisure time, she would listen to music, espe­cially ones from her favour­ite, Sarkodie. She considers herself as an ardent fun of Sarkodie. She also loves Ki­naata, Nathaniel Bassey and would jump on any Cece Winans song for inspira­tion.

She is a de­voted Christian and her favourite scripture is Joshua 21:45,”Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; everyone was fulfilled.”

Her favourite quote is “You cannot skip the stages of life. For your peace of mind and a suc­cess that lasts, you need to go through the mill. Grow through what you go through. That’s life.”
