I have been taught so many useful things and experienced so much dedication for which I am thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing Miss Ghana has opened my eyes to the plight of people. Considering the many projects we undertake such as the blood drive, scoliosis and juvenile delinquent mentorship, just to mention a few, these have helped me to reach out to others where they need help the most,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gender Minister, Madam Cynthia Morrison said there were so many negatives around Miss Ghana but now that she was involved, she would make sure the positives were spoken of more.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cUsually, we use only the three winners for projects but this time around, all contestants will be used so that whatever project they bring on board will be realised. Let\u2019s the world know that Miss Ghana is about beauty with brains, whoever wins will be an ambassador for Ghana,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The CEO of Exclusive Events Ghana, Inna Maryam Patty, said she and her team were urged each year because of the beautiful results they achieve with each batch of young ladies who pass through the Miss Ghana school, the school for empowering women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have watched with admiration and inner satisfaction the various level Miss Ghana titleholders, their runners-up, regional queens or contestants have risen to, as well as the marvellous works they do in changing the dynamics, reshaping conversations, all in the bid to ensure a woman\u2019s voice is heard and not heeded, not overlooked nor ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe keep hearing about the need to develop our society on our airwaves, the answer is simple; there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I choose to focus on the value addition the oldest beauty pageant has had on society and the world at large and the need for corporate Ghana and society at large to support and defend the brand with all our might. After all, isn\u2019t it Miss Ghana, our national pride and heritage,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_502138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 720px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-502138\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/04\/miss-ghana.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"  \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">CEO of Exclusive Events Ghana, Inna Patty speaking at the launch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Launching the event, Dr Ziblim Iddi commended Exclusive Events Ghana for the good work they have done over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Ghana is our baby, the Miss Ghana pageant and Miss Ghana Foundation are as old as Ghana.
