Do you have any siblings?

Yes I do I have two younger brothers B.J and Nana and an older sister Sonia. Some
might call her my little big sister because she is a lot shorter than I am.

Have you always wanted to be a model?
No, actually a few weeks before I graduated from high school I decided to cut my
hair because to me my hair was a huge distraction. I believed there was much more
important things in life than my hair. Once I did cut my hair a lot of
people encouraged me to become a model because I had that "LOOK" so I did and hear I
am today by Gods grace.

What are your aspirations:
Being able to lead a pathway for young females as myself to reach for what people
say is "impossible".

What is the Bright Foundation?
The Bright Foundation is a charitable organization that aims to meet specific
educational objectives for students and their educators in Ghana by aiding the
schools and orphanages.

Ghana. Giving them an opportunity to get a much needed education.

I would say that I am already a winner. Making it this far in the competition was
not an easy task. Out of almost 15 applicants for each country and if I was chosen
to represent Ghana; makes me a winner already. Love,Senya Donkor 2011/2012Miss Ghana

Brief Bio:
At the age of 5 I landed in the United States of America. At the age of 10 I was
confused, I sided more with the political location of my American female more than
my grass rate heritage. Life in general became meaningless to me; I felt that Earth
held no place for a girl like me.But at the age of 15 God had other plans in store
for my life. Now at the age of nineteen I find solace in my inner and outer beauty.
Embracing my strong, dominant African features, knowing that I hold much more than
dark skin.
