Former AIDS Ambassador and actress, Joyce Dzidzor Mensah has reached her breaking point, taking a bold stand against the relentless negativity she has endured at the hands of the blogging community.
Fed up with watching bloggers sensationalize and exploit her struggles for clicks and web traffic, Joyce is now demanding a shift in the way these digital commentators operate.
Ms Mensah opened up about the never-ending bullying and harassment she has endured at the hands of bloggers. She is calling for a revolution in the industry, urging bloggers to change their ways and focus on positivity.
She shared her frustrations about how some bloggers consistently overlooked her positive endeavors such as her acting and music career and collaborations with legendary artists such as Ivorian music icon Freddy Meiway and rather focused on amplifying controversies and scandals that had detrimental impact on her life and reputation.
“Social media bloggers are mostly interested in negative news because that’s what sells and they hardly support new talents. If we could all support new talents and not only dwell on negative news always, that would help our industry.
“This has to stop. If we want to see the growth we desire in our industry, our bloggers must learn to limit the way they fuel negativity. Even with issues that are not big, they escalate them, which is not fair, especially to us. It takes a toll on us heavily.”

Ms Mensah passionately voiced her concerns about how the creative industry was being undermined by bloggers who prioritized sensationalism over upliftment.
She is now advocating for a more mindful approach, where bloggers consider the impact of their words on the lives of creatives and focus on promoting positivity and good news.
Shifting her attention to her budding music career, Ms Mensah shared insights into collaborating with established artists.
She said her debut single ‘Tatata’ featured the legendary Ivorian musician Freddy Meiway, but believed that such collaborations, while beneficial, were not the only path to success in the music industry.
In her opinion, the fast development and popularity of social media had leveled the playing field, giving new and emerging artists the chance to leverage these platforms to showcase their talent and connect with a large fan base without relying solely on collaborations with popular musicians.
To her, social media has balanced the music industry, providing a level playing field for new and emerging artists to showcase their talent and connect with audiences worldwide.

It seems there is no stopping Ghanaian songstress Joyce Dzidzor. In April this year, she came out with ‘Tatata’ featuring Ivorian legend Freddy Meiway.
And barely four months after ‘Tatata’, she dropped another titled ‘I Like It’ with German music producer and mastering engineer Tonee Jukebox.
‘I Like It’, a Highlife tune marks a new era in Dzidzor’s music career, as she tackles the dynamics of romantic relationships and the importance of mutual respect.
Joyce Dzidzor opens up about the inspiration behind her new song saying it was born out of real-life experiences of individuals in relationships who struggle to find balance.
According to her, most couples fail to recognize the importance of mutual give-and-take, where both partners contribute to the relationship without draining each other.
She said, “It’s about recognizing that women have needs and desires too and that relationships should be a two-way street.”
Joyce Dzidzor, who has previously provided background vocals for notable artists such as Gyedu Blay Ambolley, Amandzeba, Sherifa Gunu, and Obiba Sly Collins, is now stepping into the spotlight with her music.
