Some delegates who participated in this years Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) beauty pageant organized by TV3 Network have shared thoughts on the life long experience gained thanks to the grooming offered by chaperone Nancy Adobea Anane.
“You didn’t see me earlier so you cannot see the changes in me. I was a ‘tomboy’. The way I used to dress in my jackets, style my natural hair and walk, you will go like, is she a lady? But I have been transformed to a real lady after my grooming during the pageant” Nana opined.
Achawa who represented the Greater Accra Region said “I owe my chaperone a lot because I came into the competition with the name ‘Naa’ and after I told her about my project she advised me to change my name to ‘Achawa’. I was in the conference room looking at her and said to myself this woman ‘paaa ah!’ But when the competition went on, I realized it was an awesome name because everywhere I got to, everyone goes like Achawa, Achawa”.She added "Madam Nancy is a wonderful woman because I took her advice and it worked for me".
Lamin also revealed that, she was a very quiet and reserved lady but she was told by her chaperone that being quiet and reserved does not make one a lady but being bubbly and able to receive people makes you a lady.
Madam Nancy Adobea Anane(Chaperone for 2014 GMB)lived with the delegates, educated and groomed them and they are who they are now.
Born on 26th March, Madam Nancy,after her secondary education at St Monica’s Girls senior high furthered it by entering into the Institute of Business Management & Journalism in Kumasi. She is currently working as the Brands and Events office at Starr 103.5FM in Accra.
However, Madam Anane is also a proud image projection and personal grooming consultant due to her passion to transform lives and also add value to many individuals who need their confidence boosted or want to stand out.
Three years ago, she started with what she calls the ‘personal grooming school’ in the Ashanti Region, moving from one senior high school to another to teach the ladies how to talk,walk,dress,use cutleries and some mannerisms among others, which then was supported by Beauty Lady sanitary pad.
Touching on what inspires her she said “Day in day out, I get in contact with people who need their confidence enhanced, some need to rebrand themselves whilst others need personal grooming. These are things that are not taught in school”.
