This year’s Miss Ghana UK, which comes off in September, will focus on culture and tradition.

We are introducing a number of new activities for the ladies, which will be showcased on the night and through their journey. We took the ladies away for a retreat at end of July. This is something we have been trying to do for a while,”she said.
