Anita Erskine tells her story(real life experience) as a broadcast journalist.

Ghana's queen of television and  radio personality, the BossLady Anita Erskine uncovers her real life experience aspiring to be who she is today. And still growing bigger and better, she shared that the higher she goes, the more stairs she has to claim.
The Starr 103.5FM entertainment talk show, Starr Drive  co-host over the years has demonstrated in-depth prowess and daring flair making her the most sought-after female presenter.
The radio cum TV personality with her 19years experiences started as Production Assistant (Internship) with Metro TV.

Anita posted on her facebook page advising young female presenters to soar higher with humility.
She wrote: “See this building? It’s called Pyramid House. Exactly 19 years ago today July 8 1997 I walked here from Airport Residential Area. I could have come here by car, but I left home to grab a taxi to Circle. As I left home, I was rehearsing what I would say in the interview. I had an internship interview as a production assistant at Metro TV. I was 17 years old. I ended up walking all the way because I was so caught up in my thoughts and rehearsing my lines. I remember what I was going to say. It was ‘Hello good afternoon. I’m Anita Erskine and I aspire to lead the Broadcasting Industry’. The person I met that day and indeed did deliver these lines to, chuckled a little bit. I never asked why. But I was given the Internship and that’s the only thing I needed. I had decided what I would do with it. That internship opened my eyes and ears and gave me opportunities in television. Today, Pyramid House is in plain sight from where I sit everyday when I’m on the Starr Drive on Starr FM. When I come in to the studio, the first thing I do is go to the window. This is where I pray. I ask God to help me to maintain my humility always and never fear to fight for what I believe in. I ask Him to give me just enough fire to keep my dreams burning in my heart! It’s gets tougher as I climb higher and dream bigger. Ironically, Pyramid House didn’t have an elevator so I had to walk up a flight of stairs everyday! Meridian House doesn’t have an elevator either! I have to climb up a flight of stairs here too! What does it mean? I’ve still got stairs and ladders to climb. The higher I go, the more stairs I have to climb. And that’s so ok! You have a Dream? Chase it. And when you feel you’re slipping because you’re tired, tell yourself to keep fighting. Why? Because the ?#?BossLady says so! Do you know how many people said both my face and at my back that I wouldn’t make it, or that I was done?And in all this God keeps bringing me more opportunities! ?#?ConfirmedGoingGlobal! Watch this space. Most importantly, ?#?Believe!”
