Selina Wemegah, the final year fashion student of Keta Senior High Technical School who dazzled the nation with her WASSCE Clothing and Textiles practical outfit, has become a viral sensation. But beyond the trending runway video, there is a deeper story many Ghanaians are yet to discover about this rising star.
Born and raised in Keta in the Volta Region, Selina grew up in a modest home where creativity and hard work were her guiding principles. According to JoyNews, she has always stood out in class projects for her unique sketches and innovative designs. What many do not know is that Selina has been tailoring clothes for friends and repairing uniforms for less privileged students long before her recent fame.
Her viral moment caught the attention of not only students and teachers but also some of Ghana’s most influential personalities. Renowned YouTuber Wodemaya was among the first to highlight her creativity, praising her for projecting Ghanaian fashion on a global stage. Several fashion brands and public figures have since shared her work, with many calling her a future ambassador of African design.
Reports from CitiNewsroom highlight her entrepreneurial spirit. In addition to her studies, Selina takes on small tailoring jobs within her Keta community to support her education. This determination has shaped her dream of building a Ghanaian fashion brand that blends African culture with modern global trends.
Her classmates describe her as more than just a designer. She is a singer and dancer, often entertaining peers during school events. Teachers also revealed to Graphic Online that Selina is humble, dedicated, and always willing to assist others in their work, qualities that have earned her admiration on and off campus.
While social media praises her stunning gown, the untold story is that Selina embodies resilience, sacrifice, and ambition. Her journey is proof that Ghana’s vocational education sector has the potential to produce industry leaders if given the recognition and investment it deserves.
Selina Wemegah’s rise from Keta to national attention, with endorsements from personalities like Wodemaya and admiration from top brands, is not just about fashion. It is a story of perseverance and hidden talent now ready to shine on the global stage.
