        Nah. We have our own fashion icons/ambassadors. Our 2nd lady is a notable one, so no, she can’t.

        Why would anyone look up to her anyway? She's here for photo ops with some black kids and then leave. 😒

        wow she is beautiful and elegant. i think she would do more justice to represent Ghanaian fashion than a woman from Slovenia.African fashion by African women.

        Plz tell me, it's a nightmare. How can she be fashion ambassador for Ghana.For her to become an ambassador of fashion for Nana Akuffu Addo 's Ghana,she must portray Ghana's rich culture.She must start from grass to grace.Or are you thinking we're in dwarfism land. @RAkufoAddopic.twitter.com/teqgPWmLtf

        Jesus take the wheel... Only if she means to wear Ghanaian designers during western occasions. Start with any of these:https://omgvoice.com/fashion/most-influential-fashion-designers/ …
