Celebrated Ghanaian media personality and entrepreneur, Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, has shared a deeply personal story about her career journey by revealing how being dismissed from her former workplace ultimately became a turning point in her life.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on The Delay Show with veteran broadcaster Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, widely known as Akumaa Mama Zimbi, Delay recounted how her time at the Multimedia Group ended abruptly when she was asked never to return to the company’s premises.
“I always wanted to work there, but my destiny was not there. One morning, Nuamah called me and asked me never to step foot there again. At that time, I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know why they were sacking me when I hadn’t done anything untoward,” she revealed.
The host of The Delay Show and CEO of Delay Foods admitted that the painful experience became a blessing in disguise, pushing her to carve out her own path in the media and business industries.
“But if I hadn’t left, I wouldn’t have been here. Sometimes, God redirects our path, but because we’re humans, we don’t see it. So, I’m grateful for the dismissal,” she added.
Her story has since resonated with many Ghanaians, who see her as a symbol of resilience and determination.
From what appeared to be a career setback, Delay has built a successful brand, becoming one of Ghana’s most influential female entrepreneurs and media figures.
