In its 10th year, the Exquisite Lady of the Year awards sought to award women who have blazed the trail in the past year, making strides in their chosen field.

Among the winners was Ghana’s very own Peace Hyde who took home the prestigious ELOY Journalism and Media award. The British born Ghanaian media personality beat stiff competition from some of Nigeria’s best in the media including CNN’s Stephanie Busari and Didi Akinyelure from the BBC to win the coveted award.

Peace who is the Head of Digital Media and Partnership for Forbes Africa is also the inspirational founder of education non-profit Aim Higher Africa?
