We asked Mabelle Prior a few questions, like Who are your role models? My parents: my Mum Mrs. Irene Asase Dagadzi, founder of Doctor Asase Memorial Children’s Home, and my Dad Doctor Felix Dagadzi of blessed memories who was the Head of Medecin Scolaire in Togo. They remain my everlasting models. And of course, my grandma Adadzawa Dede Felicia who was always there for us when my parents were working hard to provide our needs.

What’s your most memorable experience? One of my memorable experience is when I was booked to host a music festival in Ho sports stadium in Ghana in the year 2000 in the presence of 10000 people, the main musician didn’t turn up, and I was nearly killed by the angry public, it was a complete mob throwing things at me on the stage. I was frightened, I thought It was the end of my life. Luckily enough, the Mayor of the city, the District Chief Executive Captain George Nfodjo, who happens to be my uncle, sent soldiers and security men to come and protect me and take me away from the crowd. It was an experience I will never forget.
