Fondly called Adwoapretty by her fans, the beautiful lady from Ghana started content creation in 2020, after the global lockdown imposed by COVID-19 pandemic. She built her content around her strength, which borders largely on mimicking people’s sound, which uniquely stands her out among the droves of social media personalities.

Being a celebrity brand influencer has exposed Tracy Mensah to opportunities of exploring other business frameworks. “My success and vision aimed at helping the needy and improving the lives of her family members,” she said.

According to Gifty Mensah, “I am the owner of the Pretty Charity Foundation LBG, a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2024.  Many people in need, as well as those who are ill and disabled, have had their lives changed by me.  Having wonderful testimonials from people I have assisted over the years fills me with happiness and tranquility.  I actually visit hospitals and give to orphanage homes to assist individuals who are unable to pay for their medical care.  As part of my fertility journey support initiative, I offer women clothing on Mother’s Day and support married women who are unable to conceive, despite social pressure to become pregnant after marriage.”

“Well, I won’t lie to you, it feels great to have another family on social media who loves me. They call me out when I’m wrong and cheer me on when I’m right,” Gifty Mensah said in an interview.
