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.


The contestants were reminded of the Beauty with a Purpose theme that underpins the general purpose of the pageant.


Inspired and motivated, the contestants, dressed in exquisitely made clothes from BelLUCHI Couture, took turns to ask the past queens some useful questions.


Also in attendance was Inna Maryam Patty, also a past queen and currently franchise holder of the Miss Ghana pageant.


This year’s national finals will be held in July. The organizers have promised a good show.
