Miss Ghana USA founder, Gloria Opare Gracia states her expectations for this year's event; "The journey hasn't been easy from day one but commitment, hard work, sense of patriotism and the zeal to succeed has seen us through our almost a decade of existence. We are here to witness yet another milestone in the life of MGUSA; another opportunity to redefine beauty in the African perspective. Congratulations to all who made it to the finals.

"A successful event is what we envisage for this year. Our prime focus is charity and has never changed. We're looking forward to crowning a queen whose ideologies and principles remain in sync with our core mandate. Good luck to all contestants and may the best person win" - Edmund Dapaa, Brand Director.
