Dr. Lina Mba is the happiest person at AC Awards 2022 who was not a nominee and didn’t take home a trophy.
She’s an Immigration Consultant and community builder with some exciting projects coming up.
With no DJ or music at AC Awards 2022, the broad eye-catchy smile, and positive energy of guests like Dr. Mba kept the atmosphere at the event engaging and exciting, laying the foundation for Part 2 in Calgary on December 2.
See you soon in Calgary!
Having a beautifully designed Souvenir of Prominence Plaque can help keep our AC Awards memories as Kasoa Tropial Food owner, Charity Durowaa, did very well.
