Modeling in GH...... is waste of height.
Don’t mistake her from Liberia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa, Angola, and Rwanda among others; she is a true and a pure Ghanaian from kwmawu, bomwire blessed with a nice height to meet her dream as a professional Top model.
Ghana Representative for the 2009 face of Africa which is an African Model Competition to select the next super model, has much pain in her heart after her return to Ghana and now sees modeling in Ghana as waste of height.
“If you want to be a good model, it best to go to South Africa, America or UK because modeling in Ghana is waste of height and potential”, she told Spectator Agoro.
Although she was not the winner, her expectation was to be fixed in one of the modeling Agencies or Fashion industries to exhibit the potentials she had in her.
Benedicta Tweneboah took the risk to pose with a snake, splash various colours on herself, bath full of ice cubes and all it takes to be a model which many ladies feared to do.
She even had to go pose nude with her hands covering her private part and other girls covering her breast for her just for a pose.
At the boot camp in Kenya, they were given some dollars for phone calls but in South Africa and Tanzania, they had to buy their own dinner with that money.
“Yes we bought our own dinner when we were in South Africa and Tanzania” she said.
Out of the 24 girls selected from 16 African countries, Benedicta was one of the Top 12 ladies selected for the next super model and the last to be evicted before the top 10 were selected. M-NET was publishing everything she does until her eviction.
According to Benedicta, Multi-choice is doing everything right just that since she came back, they have not arranged with any media house to have an interview and has not pushed her to any of the advertising companies to expose her in the industry.
She is surprise up till now, she can’t even boast of belonging to any Fashion Industry or Modeling Agency which is very bad and a disgrace to her as once a representative of FOA.
“I am a freelance model and feel bad because as a representative of Ghana for the FOA, am supposed to at least have a contract from one of the advertising companies”, she said.
Her performance during the Boot Camp was perfect and she had contracts from advertising companies in Kenya, Tanzania among others such as the muscateller and Rice Master’s advert which judges even testified she was extremely good.
There are a lot of people in this country who have represented Ghana in contests but didn’t make it to the Top yet, they were highly welcomed and were made known in Ghana.
Although things didn’t go on well during the contest, she will contest again for American next Top model and wish to go far in modeling but not in Ghana.
She won’t allow her disappointment to overcome her vision to become the next African to become a super model and a great Journalist.
She just wish things will change for the next FOA contestant who will represent Ghana because it never easy at all.
