Winner of the Queen of Ghana Beauty pageant, Nana Araba Sekum, is set to represent the country at the Queen of the World Pageant in the United States of America.

The international event celebrating beauty, culture, and social causes is slated for May in the USA.

The event will take place from May 6 to 10, 2025, at Peter Norton Symphony Space Theater in New York, New York, USA. Contestants from over fifty countries will participate.

Araba, with the opportunity, will not just represent herself but every woman in Ghana who dares to dream.

The second-year student of the University of Education, Winneba, believes that her journey is more than a crown; it is about inspiring change and empowering young girls back home and the world at large.

As she returns to Ghana, Araba aims to focus on her mission, launching a nationwide campaign under the Queen of Ghana pageant umbrella to raise awareness about the importance of educating girls to enable them to take up leadership roles in governance and wherever they find themselves.

Mrs. Araba Biesema Crentsil, the founder, CEO, and pageant coach of Queen of Ghana, aims to train, equip, and empower more ladies to become symbols of hope and resilience, reminding everyone that true beauty lies not just in appearances but in the heart’s capacity to inspire and uplift others.

According to her, the story would continue to resonate, proving that one can create a ripple effect of positive change in the world with determination and passion.

“We are calling on all stakeholders to throw their support behind Ghana as we compete for the global 2025 crown in New York this May 2025. We believe Ghana will win the title and bring the crown home,” she said.

She added that “I, as founder and CEO, will provide all the necessary emotional and physical needs of the title holder to enable her to be in the best of spirits to win this competition. We are going with a team of experts who will aid our title holder to make a significant impact on the international stage to put Ghana on the map.”

Nana Araba Sekum is an enthusiastic advocate for education and women’s empowerment.
