GUBA CEO Dentaa makes the List

It seems that the GUBA CEO isn't only handy at giving out awards, she is good at receiving them too. Dentaa has been named on the 2011 Black List. The Awards were created by journalist Leon Mann and Rodney Hinds of the Voice Newspaper.

The occasion recognises the contribution of the black community for achievements across all levels of football and is supported by the Football Association, Professional Footballers' Association, Kick It Out and the Black Collective of Media in Sport (BCOMS), and Horizon with The Voice Newspaper as a media partner..

This year's awards presentation will be held at the offices of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games & Paralympic Games Limited (LOCOG) in Canary Wharf on October 26.

Dentaa's talents know no end, from presenting The Dentaa show, to founding and running the GUBA Awards (which takes place 6th November at Park Plaza Embankment). It is particularly her management of Asamoah Gyan and her influence in the signing of Emmanuel Frimpong to the Ghana National team, that were key factors in her nomination for the Black List.

The list also recognises the works of match agent Justin Addo who is responsible for the up and coming Ghana vs Nigeria Game on the 11th October at Watford Stadium
