Since announcing that she will be holding her Guinness Book of Records Speech-A-Thon at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra from February 7 to 14, 2024, actress and businesswoman Regina Adu Safowaah has not had an easy time.
Since making her declaration a month ago, the outspoken actress has drawn criticism, but she claims she is unaffected by it.
In a conversation with Graphic Showbiz, she stated that she is a person who pursues her goals without hesitation.
“When I set out to do something, nothing stops me so those who are not in support of what I want to do should stop wasting their time because that is not going to happen. My Speech- A-Thon is happening on February 7 to 14, 2024 at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel and nothing is going to stop me from doing that. My team and I have been planning for this for some time now and I know it is going to go well,” she stated.
In spite of the criticism she faces, Adu-Safowaah claimed that not many people firmly supported her.
“I have received a couple of calls from my colleague actresses who tell me they are impressed with what I am about to do and they wish me the best of luck. There was Sing- A Thon, Cook A-Thon and now it is the turn of Speech- A-Thon and I need more support from Ghanaians,” she said.

When asked what topics she would cover throughout her eight-day Speech-A-Thon, Adu Safowaah replied that she would be promoting Ghana, highlighting its natural beauty, cuisine, rich culture, and regional dialect, as well as urging those living abroad to visit Ghana frequently.
Adu Safowaah informed Graphic Showbiz that she will be taking five-minute breaks every hour and twenty-minute breaks every four hours while working on the project.
“I have been rehearsing with my medical team and whoever I need to help me out to break the Speech- A-Thon record. The current Speech- A-Thon record is 90 hours and 2 minutes set in 2018 by Ananta Ram from Nepal and I intend to break that. I will put Ghana on the map and I intend to do a lot of things after getting the fame,” she said.
Asked how entertaining that will be and why she chose to do a Speech- A-Thon in the first place, Adu Safowaah she wanted to put Ghana on the map.
“First of all, I am a talkative and this is just the best way to sell Ghana by talking about what we have as a country. It is not going to be boring. I will make it entertaining. I don’t want to give more details on what will happen during those eight days but allow Ghanaians to enjoy what I do,” she added.
