Nana Abena Owusuwah Hagan Nominated for the Clevenard Media Award 2025 in the Category of Social Impact & Cultural Leadership

• Job Title: Visionary Leader, International Business Strategist & Social Entrepreneur

Palma de Mallorca, Spain — The Clevenard Media Award 2025 will make history this November in Palma de Mallorca, celebrating trailblazers in entertainment, entrepreneurship, fashion, innovation, and community empowerment. Among the outstanding nominees is Nana Abena Owusuwah Hagan, also known as Nana Hagan, a dynamic leader whose work bridges business, culture, education, and faith. She has been nominated for the Social Impact & Cultural Leadership Award, in recognition of her groundbreaking initiatives that have uplifted communities across the United Kingdom, Ghana, and the global diaspora.

A Journey of Purpose and Transformation

Nana Hagan’s academic foundation — spanning International Business Management, Business Administration, and Banking & Finance — gave her the tools to excel in both corporate and community leadership. However, her true mission transcended business success. Drawing on her teaching, corporate, and translation experiences, she redirected her career toward empowerment, inclusion, and legacy building.

Her story is not only about leadership, but also about courage — the courage to challenge norms, build platforms where none existed, and create opportunities for people often left behind by mainstream narratives.

Founder of SHOFT CIC – Shaping Our Futures Together

As the founder of SHOFT CIC (Shaping Our Futures Together), Nana Hagan has established a model for inclusive community development. With annual flagship programmes, SHOFT CIC delivers solutions in:

• Social cohesion and cultural dialogue – bridging divides between diverse communities.
• Health education and awareness – ensuring marginalized voices gain access to vital information.
• Socio-economic empowerment and mentoring – equipping women and youth to thrive.
• Cultural identity and heritage preservation – amplifying African heritage on the world stage.

This organisation has become a platform of hope and progress, connecting institutions, communities, and individuals in pursuit of shared growth.

Transformational Initiatives and Global Firsts

• The Inside View with Nana – an online talk show uniting leaders, artists, professionals, and survivors of adversity. Guests have included Papa Owusu Ankomah (Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK & Ireland), parliamentarians, Bank of Ghana governors, and global gospel stars like Sinach and Moses Bliss.
• EM3RGE – a pioneering initiative for boys and young men, addressing a neglected demographic. Its first-ever UK male youth empowerment conference in 2025 created a blueprint for transforming masculinity and building stronger communities.
• Igniting Dreams – an entrepreneurial platform for women, guiding them to turn business ideas into thriving ventures.
• Threads of Identity – a cultural project exploring African hair, textiles, and fashion as heritage.
• UK–Ghana Transatlantic Pod-Breaking Ceremony – a historic ritual repair event hosted in Bradford City Hall, redefining World Chocolate Day as a celebration of African contributions to global culture.
• Worship Without Borders – an annual spiritual gathering uniting women through faith, fellowship, and empowerment.

These initiatives not only empower but also create historical firsts, placing Nana at the intersection of innovation, culture, and transformation.

Global Influence and Recognition

Nana Hagan’s influence extends across continents:

• Keynote Speaker at the UK Houses of Parliament, Bradford City Hall, and international cultural forums.
• United Nations UK Women Delegate, advocating for gender equity and community inclusion.
• Board Member of SWIDA Ghana, shaping policy and mentorship.
• Mentor to 200 young girls through a programme led by 30 influential Ghanaian women.
• Rotary Adventurers Club Member, driving charitable initiatives across borders.

Her awards and recognitions include:

Legacy of Leadership and Faith

At her core, Nana Hagan is a woman of faith, a cultural bridge-builder, and a nurturer of dreams. She continues to inspire as a wife, community mother, and mentor to countless individuals across the globe.

Her legacy is not measured by titles alone, but by the lives she has touched, the barriers she has broken, and the global movements she continues to ignite.
