USA–Ghana Partnership to Advance Music, Humanitarian Service and the “Beats to Deeds” Movement
October 16, 2026 | USA/Ghana — Carter Enterprises Empire (CEE), a private music ministry based in the United States, has announced the appointment of Ambassador Walter Mawuli Gli, popularly known as Ghana’s legendary entertainer Mr. Bacteria, as its new President.
Ambassador Gli, who is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TERIA Foundation, assumes the role in recognition of his contributions to humanitarian service, education, youth empowerment, creative arts, tourism and community development in Ghana and across Africa.
Through TERIA Foundation, he has championed initiatives such as EARLYFEST, the Africa Early Childhood Education Awards and Beading in Schools, which seek to create opportunities for children, educators, emerging entrepreneurs and underserved communities.
The appointment follows the September 26, 2026, NO MERCY Global Concert in Ghana, an international collaboration between Ambassador Gli and Rev. Teresa D. Carter, popularly known as MsCarter, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Carter Enterprises Empire.
According to Rev. Carter, Ambassador Gli demonstrated exceptional dedication, loyalty, professionalism and leadership throughout the planning and execution of the concert, qualities that influenced her decision to appoint him to the presidency.
She described the appointment as a recognition of his commitment to bringing people together and using entertainment as a platform for meaningful social impact.
“Leadership is not simply a title. It is demonstrated through sacrifice, loyalty, integrity, dedication and the willingness to serve others,” Rev. Carter stated.
She added that Ambassador Gli’s humanitarian work and commitment to the people of Ghana had earned her respect and confidence, expressing optimism that his leadership would help advance the organisation’s mission.
Advancing the “Beats to Deeds” Movement
Under the new leadership partnership, Carter Enterprises Empire and TERIA Foundation intend to advance the “Beats to Deeds” movement, an initiative designed to transform the influence of music, entertainment and media into practical community development.
Through partnerships involving Blazin 420 Entertainment Network, Blazin AfroBeats 420 and Nerve DJs Network, the initiative seeks to create opportunities across radio, television, magazines, music distribution, artist development and international creative collaboration.
CEE also outlines plans to reinvest designated portions of qualifying concert proceeds into community projects through a proposed trust-based structure. Its long-term vision includes artist housing, recording studios, creative spaces, veteran housing, affordable housing opportunities, youth development, financial literacy, property acquisition and the revitalisation of underserved communities.
The organisation further intends to explore programmes in Ghana and the United States that could benefit artists and other participants associated with the 2026 NO MERCY Global Concert.
Emphasising the importance of linking entertainment to social responsibility, Rev. Carter said the movement was committed to creating opportunities for artists, providing safe spaces for children, supporting veterans and helping families achieve greater stability.
“We are here to turn inspiration into infrastructure, talent into opportunity, and beats into deeds,” she said, describing the initiative as a long-term commitment to service, ownership, financial empowerment and international unity.
Strengthening USA–Ghana Relations Through Culture
As President, Ambassador Gli is expected to contribute his experience in cultural development, humanitarian service, education and international collaboration to strengthen CEE’s mission.
The two organisations envision building stronger connections among artists, educators, religious ministries, media organisations, development partners and communities in Ghana, the United States and other parts of the world.
The partnership aims to demonstrate how music and cultural exchange can create opportunities for cooperation beyond national borders while supporting community development.
In her concluding remarks, Rev. Carter congratulated Ambassador Gli on his appointment and reaffirmed her commitment to working with him to advance their shared vision.
She said the collaboration would build on the NO MERCY Global Concert and focus on turning the inspiration generated through music into practical community initiatives.
The announcement marks a new chapter in the relationship between Carter Enterprises Empire and TERIA Foundation, with both organisations expressing a shared ambition to connect entertainment, humanitarian service and community empowerment.
The partnership will operate under the guiding message: “One World. One Nation. Under God.”
With the theme “Beats to Deeds — Turning Beats into Deeds,” Carter Enterprises Empire says it seeks to promote faith in action, purposeful music and cultural collaboration without borders.
