The Anlo Queens Council has organized two separate Leadership Seminars for the youth and Ewe Queen Mothers. The youth's seminar took place in Anloga on Saturday, May 30, 2026, and the two-day seminar for the Queens started from Monday, June 1 and will end on Tuesday June 2, 2026, at Beverly View Plus Hotel, Tegbi in the Anloga District of the Volta Region.
The seminars under the theme “Empowered as One” and supported by Rev. Quashie, CEO of Hearts of Ghana Mission, brought together about 70 Queen mothers and 100 youth from the Volta Region of Ghana.
The main proponent of the event, Mama Amegbe II of Anyanui with support from Mama Wotorbe II, President of Anlo Queens Council, expressed their excitements over the success of the two separate seminars.
The major resource person for the Queen mothers' seminar, Rev. Dr. Charles Leslie stated that Queen mothers are leaders that speak for their people for social justice and development. So, they must be well equipped with leadership skills to be able to do that effectively.
He pointed out that, Queen Mothers have to be bold in confronting issues and knowledgeable on conflict resolutions. And reminded them of the numerous challenges that women in general face. That is why God has chosen the Queens to be the voices of other voiceless people like women and children in their communities.
There was also a presentation by the Anloga NCCE Directorate on the origin and roles of Queens. Which was delivered by Mad. Emmanuella Woelikplim Afetorgbor of the gender desk under the supervision of Torgbi Hatsu III, the Director of NCCE, Anloga District.
Speaking after Monday's session, Mama Amegbe II, stated that it is her wish for all the Queen Mothers to be well equipped in leadership skills. And projected each and every one working with them as leaders will know their roles and responsibilities and play them effectively.
Earlier on Saturday, after the youths' seminar, Mama Amegbe II, who spent over 40 years in the USA as a Public Health personnel, highlighted that their main responsibilities as Queen Mothers are to the youth and children in their communities. And she believes that they don’t have to impose their will on these children. But give them the opportunity to come out with their talents and passions. So that they the Queens can easily guide them to success.
Mama also stressed on the need for collaboration and networking among the people and the communities so that collectively they can develop.
According to Mama, her main goal for coming up with this leadership seminar is to impart leadership skills in the children who participated for them to also go to their communities to train their colleagues on leadership and community building. And the Queen Mothers must also have some leadership training to further equip them to excellently undertake their duties as leaders and role models in their communities.
On her part, the President of the Anlo Queens Council, Mama Wotorbe II encouraged the participants to make good use of the knowledge to be acquired during the two separate seminars. She stated that her motivation for the seminar is to help the youth to learn and acquire some leadership skills that they were not able to have growing up. She also shared her expectations that in the long round everyone will benefit from the training and knowledge that the participants will acquire.
All the participating elegantly dressed Queen Mothers were extremely happy about the seminar and promised to put to good use the knowledge to be acquired. They expressed their appreciation to the leaders and organizers of the seminar.
Some of the Queen Mothers that participated in the seminar are Mama Yeshike Subo II of Afiadenyigba, Mama Diawor Zorfuaxanyi II of Afiadenyigba, Mama Abui Senexorgbe II of Atiavi, Mama Ketor IV of Anloga, Mama Ngorgbe I of Abor, among others.
