It was not an easy decision

TV personality Anita Erskine was confirmed to have joined Star FM and she will be co-hosting the ‘Starr Drive’ show with Bola Ray. But she has stated that the decision to join the FM station was not an easy one

“Before I decided to come to Starr Fm, I had to do a lot of soul searching. Who am I now? You know I am 20 years older than I was when I started radio. How have things in my environment changed? And do I fit in that environment? Do I have something to say?

Do I have something to share that would allow our listeners to benefit? And I’m talking about Ghanaian, Africans in the Diaspora, because we are also online so I accepted it.

“It wasn’t an easy decision. It was difficult, in that, it is new territory in the sense that it is Starr but it wasn’t a difficult decision because I knew that radio ultimately was something that I wanted to do. I wanted to be a more typical media mogul sooner than later”, she said.

Anita revealed this in an interview with Francis Addo of NEWS-ONE’s adding that she accepted because of Bola Ray as according to her, he has “dream” and “vision” and understands what she is trying to achieve

“Bola Ray has a vision; he has a dream. You know, he fights for success and I am just that kind of person. He understands what I am trying to achieve and accomplish in my life as a wife, as a woman, as a professional, as an entrepreneur and all the things you can list” she stated.

Anita however admitted that she felt good to be back on radio after several years of absence and it was a good opportunity for her to ‘re-invent’ herself as she started doing radio when she was about 15 or 16 years.

”It’s been 10 years since I did radio, so this is going to be a fantastic opportunity to re-invent myself… This is my second time on radio in Ghana. This month marks 20 years since the first time I went on air. I went on air stealing time from other presenters, trying to get my voice out there. I was 15 or 16 years or so", she said.

When asked if she was still going to be on TV Anita said, “Yes, I am; I am still going to be on TV. Like I said, I want to be a media mogul. I still do have my show on Viasat One. I have a few shows on Metro TV as well. I am all over the place basically for all the right reasons, and radio is that beautiful part that completes me”.
