Gifty Boakye, a Ghanaian fashion model, has graduated from the St. Johns University in New York with a Master of Arts degree in Global Development and Social Justice.<\/p>\n
The graduation ceremony, held on the school premises on Friday, May 19, 2023, had in attendance thousands of students across various disciplines.<\/p>\n
Having previously studied Communications for her bachelor\u2019s degree at the same institution, Gifty Boakye\u2019s educational journey has been a testament to her dedication and passion.<\/p>\n
Gifty, who is also the director of philanthropy for Afrochela, (now Afrofuture), has expressed her aspirations for the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a fashion model, I plan to continue serving as a global ambassador through public speaking and representing my people. My intention is to work as a diplomat, focusing on Ghana and sharing my perspectives on global affairs and the representation of nations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Gifty Boakye emphasised the value of her dual citizenship, stating, \u201cI am blessed to experience the duality of being both Ghanaian and American, and I strongly believe that cultural nuances can be expressed, explored, and explained. My goal is to work for the greater good, uplift people, enhance the quality of life for the vulnerable, promote peace, and build bridges towards gender equality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her influences and role models, Gifty Boakye said she drew inspiration from her mother, who epitomises resilience.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\u201cMy mother already calls me \u2018Ambassador Gifty Boakye\u2019 and supports me through all my endeavors, offering prayers before each of my flights around the world,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Beyond her successful modeling career, Gifty Boakye has established herself as an entrepreneur. During her college days, she began modeling for local photographers, quickly gaining recognition for her beauty and photogenic qualities.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
She was awarded the title of Local Model of the Year at the 2019 African Entertainment Awards USA and was a finalist in the 2022 World Supranational beauty contest.<\/p>\n
In 2017, Gifty founded her brand, NATIVE, with the aim of promoting the idea that everyone should embrace and showcase their cultural roots without judgment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her philanthropic work led her to establish the NGO Sisters Love and Admire Yourself (S.L.A.Y).<\/p>\n
