Meet the 15-year old Ghanaian model with autism

Quote:
A 15-year old Ghanaian girl with autism, Nana Yaa Ohenewa Kuffuor, declared her intentions of becoming a top model in September 2017.

Despite her challenges with autism, Nana Yaa chased her dreams and has since broken barriers to become a brand ambassador for Verna Mineral Water along with Maame Bema Baffour Awuah and Yacob Tete-Manon, also girls with autism.
