GHANA DESERVES BETTER
Organizers whom align with the international pageant will need to properly liaise with Miss Aura International to ensure there is a safe passage of representation for the selected nations as opposed to the visa exploitation and embarrassment young aspiring applicants are going through.

Winifred Esi-Sam is also not the first Ghanaian representative to have her visa rejected. Ghana’s 2021 rep was also rejected by Turkey by visa from participating in the Miss Aura International competition.
