Publish date: 2024-04-19

She’s the girl with autism, but she’s not letting that stop her from chasing her dreams. 15-year-old Nana Yaa Ohenewa Kuffour has started the journey of being a model; defying every odd.

Nana Yaa is a brand ambassador with Verna Mineral water along with 2 other girls with autism, Maame Bema Baffour Awuah and Yacob Tete-Manon.

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.—Autismspeaks.org

With a beautiful broad-cheeked face, arches of perfect eye brows linked from opposite directions to a pointed nose that sits seamlessly just above a heart-shaped lip, Nana Yaa is a true definition of African beauty.

Nana Yaa is changing the narrative about people with autism. Mary Amoah Kuffour, mother of Nana Yaa, describes her daughter as “a cute angel”.

Here are some photos of Nana Yaa:
