BBC journalist Anne Ngugi's daughter Angel, 15, has been nominated for The Voice Achievers Award, which will be held on August 16 in Nairobi.

Speaking to Word Is yesterday, Anne said she was reached through social media and told about the nominations in March.

"I did not expect it but I thank God for this opportunity for my daughter because it shows there are even bigger opportunities coming along her way," she said.

The Voice Achievers Award is one of the biggest African social events in Central Europe, dedicated to appreciating dedication and contribution of daughters, sons and friends of Africa who, through their activities, have impacted positively on the lives of Africans.

The award is on its 10th anniversary and for the first time, it is being hosted in the African continent, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Angel's passion is in music, and she will be releasing a song with Deno this month.
