– On Saturday the 27th November local Dagenham resident Nana Afua Antwi took the Top Model of Colour (TMC) 2010 crown at the Grand Finale event which was held at Porchester Hall in West London.
All the models took to the catwalk were a vision of style and class in their elegant dresses and sharp suits. It was a fantastic evening and the calibre of this year’s contestants was very impressive; they conveyed passion and eagerness when showing off their modelling skills and were extremely confident on the runway, all with the makings of being great supermodels.
When asked what being announced as The Female Winner TMC 2010 has meant to her, Nana Afua Antwi said: “It means so much to me. It makes me feel so good inside I can’t believe I’ve won! I’ve come such a long way, I’m so passionate about modelling, but it’s not been easy. When I was growing up I was never looked at as pretty, I was teased about my looks and my height. I still pursued being a model but I got lots of “no’s” and nearly gave up, but I stayed determined and decided to enter into the Top Model of Colour competition. The competition was fierce as the other models were stunning, they were hard competition. I was so shocked, but definitely pleased to win.”
