<\/div>\n
spacious with a great big stage and catwalk. The lightning inside was quite dimm and gave the hall a very festive atmosphere. It was almost completely packed to the last seat. Everyone<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
dressed up nicely and many traditional outfits with a modern twist could be spotted among the guests. The girls all looked lovely and had a great attitude and warm smile on stage. The<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
dresses they were showcasing came among others from Coko Diamond<\/a> of Berlin.\u00a0 All the contestants looked absolutely stunningto me!\u00a0 My favourite part of the evening was, when all the girls<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
performed an example of their traditional dance in their festive attire. At the end, I was lucky enough to have a quick moment with the freshly crowned Miss and Face of Africa Germany 2014 Julee Asamoah, who is only twenty years old and from Ghana. She is such a lovely, humble and motivated young lady who wants to work with children in order to better their lives and be a good role model. Complementing her on her flattering short hair, she shared with me that she only decided to go for a big chop three weeks ago so that people could actually see her face and not just some hip length weave extensions. I salute her for such a great choice since she has nothing to hide.<\/div>\n
