The Deputy Minister for Children, Gender and Social Protection and Miss Ghana 1997 winner, Hon. Benita Okiti-Duah, has met with all twenty finalists of the 2013 edition.
Together with other queens including Miss Ghana 1995, Manuela Medie and Efia Owusuwaa Marfo, Miss Ghana 1998, as well as Mimi Areme, Miss Ghana 2009; they took the contestants through a thought-provoking session on what the Miss Ghana brand stands for and how to enhance their respective career aspirations.
The queens met over lunch at the Hinlone Restaurant in Accra last weekend, to share ideas and also pick up notes from each other.
The past queens also took the contestants through some of the challenges and obligations that come with being part of the pageant, and why it such a strong pro-development tool.
At the heart of the three-hour session was the call by the past queens to the contestants to see the platform as one that enables them to positively affect their immediate communities.
