Have faith in your abilities!
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in
your own powers you cannot be successful or
happy. - Norman Vincent Peale
In life, there are times where some well educated
individuals with their Degrees and PhD’s, finds it
very difficult to associate themselves in the
society they live in because of their low self-
esteem and the composition of their personality.
Many are those intellectuals in societies, who can
write their thesis but yet still they find it very
difficult to stand in the public domain to present
their ideas for it to be accepted.
These were the stories of some delegates who
participated in this years Ghana’s Most Beautiful
(GMB) beauty pageant which was organized by
TV3 Network. If you watched this years GMB, then
I trust you are much acquainted with Nana – one
of the delegates.
In an interview she said “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”.
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 concluded by saying "Miss 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.
Miss Nancy Adobea Anane (Chaperone and
personal groomer for 2014 GMB) lived with the
delegates, educated and groomed them and they
are who they are now.
Born on 26th March, Miss 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 at the Brands and Events
office at Starr103.5FM in Accra.
However, Miss Nancy is also a proud image
projection and personal grooming consultant due
to her passion to transform lives and also adding
value to many individuals who needs their
confident boosted or wants to stand out and not
mix in, or better still want to move with grace and
style .
Three years down the line, 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 needs
their confidence enhanced, some needs to rebrand
themselves whilst others need personal grooming.
These are things that are not taught in school.
There are great people in our society instead of
them being honored; they get ridiculed because of
the image they project.
“So I do the image projection and personal
grooming to help enhance the confidence of
people, repackage them and make sure that
whoever you are and whatever you stand for you
shall be able to project that with your self-
packaging.” Says Miss Nancy
Trust me, after my interview with Miss Nancy
Adobea Anane I was totally transformed as a
reporter. I learnt how to brand and market myself
well to the general public.
