My name is Wendy Oppong Agyeiwah. I’m a 20-year-old born and raised in Kumasi, Ghana. I’m a student and currently reside in the Los Angeles California area. My talents are modeling, organization, and public speaking. As a model, I find my confidence and purpose in my voice and heels. I stand for women having strong education and financial independence without depending on anybody or any man. For this reason, I began a business as a financial planner where I help families learn about building financial wealth, entrepreneurship, and confidence. My interest to be independent and inspire women to be financially independent stemmed from the hardworking mothers and single mothers I grew up with in Ghana. Despite the hardship in Africa, they had their jobs and were financially dependent on themselves and I have always been inspired to do the same. I am also passionate about giving Ghanaian people opportunities that have been taken away from them because of lack of resources and education. I am currently creating an organization called Empowering Leaders through International Training and Education or ELITE. ELITE is meant to provide students in Ghana the professional development and opportunity to study abroad and I believe that through African Most Beautiful, I can have a platform and a voice to expand my mission. As black people, we have survived the torture of slavery and fought for our freedom where we are still thriving despite being left at the bottom of capitalism. I believe that if we provide the resources necessary for black people especially in their early educational years, they will do better than expected. We have lots of hardworking and ambitious women in Ghana, but they lack resources. I want to provide educational and financial resources to African women in Ghana and provide the opportunity for them to study in any part of the world they desire. By representing Ghana in African Most Beautiful USA and being part of Abofrem Area Foundation, my heels and my voice will be able to expand my mission of supporting African students and supporting women’s financial independence.
