The Bold New Normal Conference slated for 26th October 2024

The third edition of The Bold New Normal Conference, convened by transformational business leader, author, and global speaker Lucy Quist, comes off on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at the Pearly Gate Gardens, East Legon, Accra.

The conference which builds on Lucy Quist’s critically acclaimed book of the same title, The Bold New Normal, fundamentally challenges the status quo and the mindsets of her audience to defy the notion of Africa as an impoverished continent devoid of opportunities to prosper.

The Bold New Normal Conference has over the years brought together change leaders from across Ghana and the African continent to develop actionable solutions to the challenges faced on the continent. It seeks to inspire and empower the transformation of lives, communities, and nations by taking decisive actions toward creating prosperity.

Reflecting on the journey since the first conference, Lucy Quist noted, “The demand for continuity in fostering Africa’s prosperity has been positively overwhelming. Change Leaders are eager to showcase their creativity and leadership, as they yearn for opportunities to gather, think, share, and co-create solutions to issues that fundamentally challenge equity, justice and opportunities to prosper.”

This year’s conference, themed “Transforming Mindsets, Creating Leaders of Prosperity,” will serve as a platform for changemakers to harness their creative potential, contribute to the reshaping mindsets, and take concrete steps toward a prosperous future for Africa.

Distinguished speakers and panelists from various economic sectors will share their insights, while inspiring stories of young leaders driving change will be highlighted. The confirmed 2024 speakers are:

  • David Ofosu-Dorte (Founder & Senior Partner, AB & David Africa)
  • Patricia Obo-Nai (CEO, Telecel Ghana)
  • Bernard Avle (General Manager, Citi FM/ Channel One)
  • Janeen Uzzell (CEO, National Society of Black Engineers)
  • Kojo Akoto (Agribusiness Specialist)
  • Valerie Labi (CEO, Wahu);
  • Yaw Perbi (CEO, Hud Group)
  • Emi-Beth Quanson (CEO, Kawa Moka)

As with previous conferences, the day will be crowned by a special masterclass led by Lucy Quist where participants learn from her extensive experience as a thought leader and transformational business expert across industries such as manufacturing, technology, telecommunications and financial services.

Inspired by the principles in “The Bold New Normal,” the event is an essential clarion call for the young professionals, business executives, entrepreneurs, founders, and changemakers looking to make a difference and take charge of building the future they desire and deserve.

Also in attendance was his eminence the Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams in the company of his wife Rosa Whitaker. The General Manager of Dominion TV together with the producer and director of the movie; Samira Yakubu and Frank Rajah also graced the event. 

The red carpet event was a sight to behold, with attendees dressed to impress and eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars. The Kumasi turnout for instance was a historic one as fans flocked from all corners of the city, eager to indulge in the presence of their favorite cast. 

A Blessing to the Ghanaian Film Community

Akosua Adjepong who plays Majid Michel’s mother in the movie expressed her excitement about the movie and the heartwarming turn-out, especially in Kumasi. “It was a wonderful experience coming to Kumasi and sharing the movie with the Kumasi audience and more is coming their way. People came up and said this was one of the best Christian movies they ever watches”, she said. 

Sonia Ibrahim who also plays the critical role of Anita in the movie expressed how wonderful of an experience it was, especially working alongside the Archbishop himself, describing the entire ordeal as a blessing. “I think this is a wonderful experience for all of us. It was a blessing being part of something with an Archbishop. I am hopeful that we see more of this” – Sonia Ibrahim 

The attending fans not only took time to watch the movie and interact with their favorite actors but gave their two cents on the movie as well, acknowledging how edifying it had been. Patience; an attendee from Kumasi described how the movie helped her love her husband more and shed light on the importance of staying beside him through thick and thin. 

“The movie exceeded my expectations and I am amazed. The message was humbling for me. The message is timely because they brought up issues that we see today and we have learned a lot. As a married woman, I have learned to stand by my husband in times of trouble. I am taking home a really valuable lesson today” said Patience. 

Nick, who was also in attendance at Kumasi was particularly amazed by the movie’s thematic representation of faith. The lead character; Pastor Teddy, who was played by James Gardiner was a figure of admiration for Nick. “The faith factor was so important in the movie. Sometimes we go through trials and give up. But this is a man who fought to the end and God saw him through it all. So the faith factor was very strong. These movies empower us as we go about our daily Christian lives. Thumbs up to Dominion TV. We want more and more and more from Dominion TV. – Nick. 

Preaching the Gospel through Film Across Africa

The success of Accra’s number-one Christian movie premiere is a testament to the growing appetite for Christian-themed movies in Ghana and across Africa. As more filmmakers explore this genre, we can expect to see more powerful stories of faith and redemption that will inspire and uplift audiences.

“You don’t only have to listen to the gospel through the pulpit. As filmmakers, we preach the gospel through our filmmaking and storytelling. I am happy about this and I believe there is more coming”. These were Jackie Appiah’s words when asked about whether the Ghanaian community should expect more, especially those within the Christian faith. 

Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams who made a cameo appearance in the movie expressed being immensely moved by the movie, to the point of tears. “The movie touched me, and to be honest, I was crying. I just could not hold my tears. The movie was moving, and emotional, it spoke volumes. It showed the power of temptation and nobody can assume that as long as you are in this flesh, you are above temptation” – Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams.

“We want to use movies to tell the story of redemption and to let people know the love of God, His power, compassion, and mercies” He added. 

“There is a lot more in store for Dominion TV. The vision we had when we started Dominion TV was for inspired and empowered living through Christ and there are so many ways to tell that story. We are making strides and changing lives and are coming out with a whole new children’s block of programming. We are so grateful for tonight. We are looking at the best of the best actors in Ghana who put their hearts into this. It was a genius move that brought a lot of life to the world” Added Rosa Whitaker who is also the President of Dominion TV.
