Either you love her or loathe her; she keeps rising and bagging all the prestigious awards� At the recently held National Youth Achievers Awards, Star Actress Jackie Appiah took home the 2012 National Youth Achievers Awards for Performing Arts. At the event, she was given a big hand shake by the President of Ghana- HE John Dramani Mahama. (Yeap, President of Ghana himself gave her the well done). The National Youth Achievers Award (NYAA) is a national recognition platform designed to publicly honour exceptional youths between the ages of 15 � 35, who have excelled in various sectors of the country, with the hope of preparing them for responsible leadership. I have even lost count of the number of Awards Jackie Appiah has taken home since she started acting!
