Async/Await giving [object Promise] in forEach loop

Question

I know there are many questions already answered about this but no matter what I try it doesn't work like I want it to.

I am trying to make a sort of leaderboard on my discord bot and that part works fine, but if you're familiar with the game Minecraft you know that every user has an UUID, and I have the UUID of the players in my data, I need the ASYNC/AWAIT to convert de UUID to the player's username BEFORE continuing with the code. However ASYNC/AWAIT simply does not work in a forEach loop.

Here's the code I have:

const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const mcapi = require('mcapi');
const { blue_light, red_light } = require(`../../colours.json`);
const eventogxp = require(`../../models/eventogxpModel`)

run: async (client, message, args) => {
        
        var data = await eventogxp.find({
            __v: 0
        }).sort([[
            'quantiagxp', 'descending'
        ]])
    
    const generateEmbed = start => {
        const current = data.slice(start, start + 10)
        leaderboard = ""
        var i = start+1;
        
       current.forEach(async g => {
            var ign = await mcapi.uuidToUsername(g.uuid) //This converts the UUID to UserName
            leaderboard += "`" + `#${i}` + "` " + "`" + `${ign}` + "`" + ` - **${g.quantiagxp}**` + `\n`
            i += 1
    });
    
        const embed = new MessageEmbed()
        .setTitle(`EVENTOGXP TOP ${start + 1}-${start + current.length} de ${data.length}`)
        .setDescription(`${leaderboard}`)
        .setColor(blue_light)
        return embed 
      }
      
      const author = message.author
      
      message.channel.send(generateEmbed(0)).then(message => {
        if (data.length <= 10) return
        message.react('➡️')
        const collector = message.createReactionCollector(
          (reaction, user) => ['⬅️', '➡️'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === author.id,
          {time: 6000000}
        )
      
        let currentIndex = 0
        collector.on('collect', reaction => {
          message.reactions.removeAll().then(async () => {
            reaction.emoji.name === '⬅️' ? currentIndex -= 10 : currentIndex += 10
            message.edit(generateEmbed(currentIndex))
            if (currentIndex !== 0) await message.react('⬅️')
            if (currentIndex + 10 < data.length) message.react('➡️')
          })
        })
      })
    
      }

This is the result that I get: object Promise error

The expected output would be the player's in-game-name (username) instead of the object Promise.
