Theresa Weyerane Adiali, a former Mid-Morning Show presenter at A1 Radio in Bolgatanga, is set to represent the Upper East Region in the prestigious Miss Ghana 2025 competition.
Her remarkable journey from a regional media personality to a national stage contender showcases her resilience, grace, and dedication to community development.
Hailing from the Adiali royal family in Chiana, Kassena-Nankana West District, Weyerane embodies the pride and culture of her roots. Her story is deeply connected to the traditions of the Upper East Region—a land known for its rich heritage, artistic spirit, and resilience despite economic and climatic challenges.
Growing up surrounded by landmarks such as the Whistling Rocks of Tongo, the Paga Crocodile Pond, and the Sirigu Crafts Village, she developed a profound appreciation for her people’s creativity and strength.
“The Upper East Region’s beauty is not just in its attractions but in its people’s strength and creativity,” Weyerane reflects. Her passion for advocacy and meaningful change is rooted in this duality of cultural richness and socio-economic struggles.
A Voice for the Marginalized
Weyerane’s professional journey has been defined by advocacy and storytelling. Her background in communication allowed her to transition seamlessly from broadcasting to humanitarian work.
As a presenter at A1 Radio, she used her platform to shed light on pressing social issues, inspiring her audience with her stories. Her commitment to advocacy extended globally through her work with UNICEF, where she engaged in grassroots initiatives and strategic partnerships.
“Growing up in a marginalized community taught me the value of resilience and the power of storytelling,” she says. This belief drives her mission to amplify the voices of vulnerable communities and push for community-centered solutions.
Empowering Women Through Crafts
One of Weyerane’s aspirations is to empower rural women and vulnerable groups by harnessing the region’s traditional crafts, particularly basket weaving. She envisions a future where these artisanal skills are celebrated globally, transforming lives and driving economic growth.
“The women in our communities hold a wealth of untapped potential,” she notes. “By equipping them with tools and opportunities to commercialize their crafts, we can create a ripple effect of empowerment and sustainable livelihoods.”
Representing a Region
As Weyerane prepares for the Miss Ghana 2025 competition, she carries with her the hopes, stories, and aspirations of the Upper East Region. Her participation is not merely a personal milestone but a celebration of her homeland’s beauty, resilience, and potential.
Through her platform, she aims to highlight the rich culture of the region while addressing critical challenges. Whether through advocacy, storytelling, or empowering local artisans, Weyerane embodies the true essence of beauty with a purpose—a quality that distinguishes her as she takes the national stage.
The Upper East Region has found a proud ambassador in Theresa Weyerane Adiali, a young woman determined to inspire, advocate, and lead.
