There are personalities you'll find in certain spaces that give a story that seems to resonate deeply with you if you just sit still long enough.

That is what Stacy Amoateng has been making for over two decades through the media and she has a name for it, she calls it Restoration.

Well to her that name was not a marketing decision. She has said plainly that God gave her the name, that her purpose was always to restore lives, and the show was simply the platform through which that purpose found its fullest expression.

Whether or not you share her faith, the evidence is difficult to dispute. Women who have been on the show can actually speak of its impact.

Restoration, under Stacy Amoateng, is not a show title. It is a verb, she is always on the go taking action.

From Taxi Driver to the Television That Matters

Anastasia Manuela Amoateng, known everywhere as Stacy, began her television career in 2000 as an actress, appearing in the Ghanaian TV series Taxi Driver.

By 2002, she was hosting Talk Ghana on TV3 and co-hosting Music Music alongside Bola Ray, building her on-screen confidence, developing her natural ability to hold a conversation, and learning the rhythms of Ghanaian broadcasting from one of its most established platforms.

She also hosted In Touch Africa and In Vogue, building a reputation as a versatile, warm, and instinctively audience-aware presenter.

She appeared in films including I Sing of a Well, Incomplete, Consequences, and Cross My Heart, establishing herself as an actress of range alongside her television work.

But it was when she stepped away from the entertainment formats and leaned into something more purposeful that her career found its true direction.

Restoration With Stacy launched after she left TV3 in 2012, a deliberate pivot toward development television.

The show, which she produces through her company Platinum Networks and which airs on Joy Prime and other platforms, focuses on real Ghanaians facing real crises: abuse survivors, struggling entrepreneurs, young people without opportunity, families in crisis. Each episode is not just a conversation.

It is an intervention, one that routinely results in tangible, documented support for the people who appear on it.

Through the Youth to Lead initiative, for instance, the show partnered with Hisense Ghana to provide startup capital directly to young entrepreneurs who appeared as guests.

The Foundation, the Honours, and the Hardware

Television, for Stacy Amoateng, has never been enough on its own.

Alongside the show, she founded The Restoration With Stacy Foundation, a charitable organisation that extends the show's mission beyond the screen, supporting women and girls facing abuse through structured programmes including The Luv Project.

The foundation is the institutional arm of a belief she has held since the beginning: that media without action is performance, and action without media is invisible.

She has spent her career doing both simultaneously. She also founded Showbiz Honours, an awards scheme specifically designed to recognise celebrities who give back to society.

In an entertainment industry that sometimes celebrates fame without substance, it was a pointed intervention: a public acknowledgment that visibility carries responsibility, and that the most admirable thing a public figure can do with their platform is use it for someone other than themselves.

The industry has recognised her in return, consistently and across multiple categories.

She has won Most Entertaining Female Presenter at the RTP Awards three times. TV Development Show Host of the Year at the RTP Awards, twice.

She has also won RTP Personality of the Year in 2019 to 2020. Ghana Peace Awards Humanitarian Service Laureate in 2017.

She has an Honorary Degree in Media Relations from Achievers University College, Spain in 2015.

She is also a recipient of the TV Personality of the Year and Media Woman of the Year at the National Communication Awards in 2021.

She has also been named Royalty of Sunyani for her excellence in media, a traditional recognition that speaks to the depth of her reach beyond Ghana's urban centres and into the broader national fabric.

Stacy Amoateng is a woman whose excellence precedes her and there is proof to all it, through the recognition.

The CEO, the Executive Director, and the Woman Behind It All

Behind the awards and the show and the foundation is a quietly formidable media executive.

Stacy Amoateng is the CEO of Platinum Networks International, the production company responsible for Restoration With Stacy and a growing portfolio of content work.

She is the Executive Director of Emklan Media, a content management and multimedia production firm.

She is a Director at Megastar International. She is an event and media consultant whose corporate footprint extends well beyond what most of her television audience sees.

She is married to Okyeame Quophi, the celebrated Ghanaian musician and one half of the legendary Akyeame duo, a man she has been with since May 28, 2005.

Stacy Amoateng has spent twenty-five years in Ghanaian media. She started as an actress in a TV drama and built, over a quarter of a century, one of the most purposeful media brands on the continent.

The show is still running, the foundation is still giving. The awards keep coming and her impact is still being felt.
