MzGee is a media personality
Media personality MzGee has sparked conversations about intra-gender support and respect with a monologue on her Gee O’clock show, urging deeper reflection on the contradictions in how women treat one another, particularly in professional settings.
In a heartfelt reflection, MzGee recounted an early experience in her career where her relentless pursuit of exclusive stories was downplayed by a colleague simply because she had no children.
“I used to hop. Wherever there was an event, you’d find me there. Even if you didn’t invite me, I’d show up because I wanted to get exclusives,” she recalled.
“One day, a colleague said, ‘Gee, you don’t have a child, so you’re all over the place. If you had a child, you wouldn’t have had the time to be roaming and scouting for news.’”
For MzGee, that remark wasn’t just a passing comment — it was a stark reminder of the subtle ways women undermine one another, especially in professional environments.
“Someone will say it’s not a big deal, but it is a big deal,” she stressed. “Let’s assume that at the time the comment was made, I was struggling to have a child. How would it have felt?”
She lamented the irony of such behaviour, especially when some of these same women go on to make bold declarations about women’s empowerment on days like International Women’s Day.
The broadcaster also touched on body shaming — another issue she says often originates from women.
“I am a victim of body shaming, and it mainly came from women. I even had to write on my Facebook page that the rate at which women confidently body shame women is alarming. It gives men the pleasure to do same,” she noted.
According to MzGee, while she finds joy in seeing women succeed, she believes that the deep-seated habit of tearing each other down must be addressed with urgency.
“I get excited when women are excelling… but the things women do to women!” she exclaimed. “You’ll see people who cannot go a day without makeup come and say ‘look at her face without makeup’… and it’s mostly women writing those ill, nasty comments.”
“It’s about time we changed and treated our fellow woman kindly, respected our fellow woman and be gracious to our fellow woman. If we did this, there is no way a man would have the infantry to come and say rubbish and nonsense to a woman.”
MzGee began her media career in 2005 at Eagle FM while studying at Cape Coast Technical University. She later worked with Skyy TV and Pravda Radio. After participating in TV3’s ‘Hottest Host’ reality show, she interned at the station and pursued further education at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
In 2014, she joined the Multimedia Group, where she hosted programs like Campus Show and Day Break on Hitz FM. In 2018, she launched her own TV show, Gee Spot, on Joy Prime. She moved to Media General in 2019, taking on roles as a presenter and producer on TV3 and 3FM, where she hosted shows such as ShowBuzz and Mentor.
In March 2023, MzGee joined Despite Media as host of UTV’s United Showbiz.
How can you comfortably make denigrating comments about a woman’s private part and expect to be respected?
Eeeeeeiii! It is either you weren’t raised well or you’re a “Kplamase”!
Well! On this episode of Gee O’clock, let’s take a look at, “What Women do to Women”
