“It was motivated by my personal life challenges growing up as an orphan,” she tells Mimi Mefo info.
“If we do not help ourselves and our community, who will?” Delly asks, explaining that she has always wanted to be part of the change she wants to see around her knowing firsthand what it means to live in deprivation.
Moved by the number of singles finding it hard to interact and start up meaningful relationships, she set up Delly’s Matchups, a platform connecting singles worldwide.

Another area where the talented lady is making strides is the media. Her Delly TV, she says, aims to provide news and entertainment, told by Africans but with a global audience in mind. According to her, the African adage that “until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter” lies at the heart of it all.
Despite all these, the media sensation notes that she, like everyone else, is not infallible. Unlike several others however, she explains, when she fails she sees it as a stepping stone and not a dead end. “The more I fail, the more I want to succeed” she avers.

Quizzed about her idea of an ideal world she would like to attain, Delly told MMI: “It would be one where the love of God and neighbor thrives, a world where children are worried about the different career and opportunity choices, rather than whether they will live through the next day and a world where parents can plan a retirement with their grandchildren, rather than worry each day if their child will survive.”Being a role model to the Cameroon girl child due to her challenges, hardships and triumphs, Delly encourages them to hold on and not lose sight of their goals.To be able to attain their dreams in future, she tells young girls “self-discovery and becoming the real you, is more important than anything else”.
“Take a journey into self-discovery today and be the change in your world. You’re more than just a woman; you’re an institution!” she adds.
