Afedziwa
Central Region’s 2025 Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) representative, Afedziwa, born Antoinette Kennies Ofori, recently graduated with First Class Honours in BSc Midwifery from the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
The 25-year-old midwife’s graduation was driven by the goal to serve as an inspiration to young girls. On her stay on campus, she won numerous accolades, including Best Level 300 Student in Midwifery in the 2023-2024 academic years and in the 2022-2023 academic years. She was also adjudged Best Level 200 Student in Clinical Studies.
Speaking in an interview, Afedziwa indicated that, “In my final year, I joined the Ghana’s Most Beautiful competition while also working at Cape Coast Health and Wellness Centre as a midwife. I remember in the first stages of the competition, I would return from the reality house to Cape Coast to sit for exams and return to Accra to rehearse for my performance on Sundays.”
Afedziwa is referred to as the “Diamond of the season” due to her outstanding performance in the 2025 Ghana’s Most Beautiful pageant.
Afedziwa bowed out of the competition at the semi-final stage. She was eliminated alongside Yeli from the Bono Region, despite winning the Most Eloquent award for her captivating performance as Nana Ayekra Adeboe, the first woman king of Denkyira.
Afedziwa’s exit sparked debate among fans, who pointed out that her low votes didn’t reflect her impressive performances throughout the competition. With four awards and 12 nominations, she left a lasting mark on the show.
