A young entrepreneur and beautician, Jemima Mawuena Asuo, has joined the race for the coveted Miss Galaxy Ghana 2026 crown with a strong pledge to champion women’s empowerment through skills development and entrepreneurship.
The second-cycle school graduate believes that empowering women with practical skills is one of the most effective ways of creating confident leaders capable of transforming their communities.
According to her, beauty should not be measured solely by physical appearance but by the confidence, purpose and positive impact an individual brings to society.
“As a beautician and entrepreneur, I learnt early that beauty is more than what’s on the surface; it’s the confidence you walk with,” she said.
She explained that years of helping women build confidence through beauty and self-care inspired her to broaden her vision by advocating initiatives that equip women with vocational and entrepreneurial skills.
“My advocacy is centred on women empowerment by equipping women with skills to become change-makers. Skills give confidence, confidence builds leaders, and leaders change communities,” she stated.
Jemima said life’s challenges had strengthened her resilience and prepared her to use the Miss Galaxy Ghana platform to inspire young women to believe in themselves and pursue opportunities that would improve their lives and those of others.
She is therefore appealing to Ghanaians to support her journey by voting in the ongoing competition.
Supporters can vote by dialling *365*303#, entering her contestant code MG3, and following the prompts.
This year’s Miss Galaxy Ghana competition continues to position itself as more than a beauty pageant by providing a platform for young women to promote social causes, leadership, entrepreneurship and community development. Organisers have encouraged contestants to use their advocacy projects to drive meaningful change while showcasing confidence, intelligence and creativity on the national stage.
Jemima believes the crown would provide her with a bigger platform to inspire more young women to acquire employable skills, embrace entrepreneurship and become agents of positive transformation in their communities.
