Romeo
Like any other person who works ‘behind the scenes’, he is not a known face in the industry but Michael McDonalds Nana Yaw Asare’s contribution has resulted in an unprecedented improvement in the quality of beauty pageants on campuses and beyond.
The 28-year-old focus-driven graduate of University of Ghana, Legon has curved a niche for himself as one of Ghana’s finest beauty pageant grooming experts.
Romeo, as he is affectionately called, has worked on a number of contestants who have particpated in pageants such as Miss Ghana, Miss Earth, Miss Tourism Ghana, Miss Legon, Face of Legon, Miss Elite and Face of BAMSA.
He discovered ‘queenly’ traits in various past queens of pageants such as Miss Malaika 2010 and 14, Miss Tourism 2012, Miss Elite 2014 now first runner up of Miss Ghana and Miss Africa 2015.
One of his trainees is Miss Rebecca Asamoah, second runner up at Miss Ghana 2015 who went on to win the maiden edition of Miss Africa 2016 held at the Lyric Theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Ms. Asamoah sings of his praises for helping her improve upon her speech delivery (public speaking) among other things.
Romeo’s aim of empowering ladies to rise from inferiority complex, fear, shyness to become pillars in nation building makes him not limit the training of these pageants to the competition but also prepares the trainees for job interviews a well as academic exercises.
“My training is a total overhaul of an individual whose desire to succeed is not only restricted to the classroom. The training catapults the passionate lady closer her dreams. A good pageant grooming is a perfect transit point to success.
“There are a lot of intelligent ladies out there who need some nurturing to come out of their shells and discover their true potentials,” he said.
As one with the ability of scouting, Romeo hooks talented and willing models up for adverts, ushering, promotions and activations which give them exposure to the job market as well network with industry players.
With the greatest conviction that the quality finalists of beauty pageants exude on stage is born out of the training they receive during the grooming process, Romeo is certainly not leaving anything to chance.
