Chantell Dapaah’s one of an elite group of uber fabulous, incredibly stylish, ‘It girls’ of Accra – and Ghana Rising’s a big fan. We stumbled across Chantell earlier this year via the FACE OF BLACK'S SECRET’s page on Facebook –and just had to vote for her. Beautiful, humble, intelligent and ambitious; -Chantell, –we believe is Ghana’s ‘Next Big Talent/Model’ -and added her to Ghana Rising’s ‘Most Beautiful Women of Ghanaian Origin 2010’ list. The list includes models: Soraya Khalil, Vicky Boateng, Rosemary Frimpong, Meyane Donkor and Adwoa Aboah; TV presenters: Faustina Agolley, Georgina Bediako-Kwakye and June Sarpong; Actresses: Freema Agyeman, Claire-Hope Ashitey and Dayan Kodua; Musicians: Adwoa Hackman, Leila Adu and Anna Reynolds.

We predict big things for Chantell and know that you’ll agree with us after reading the following interview. Enjoy...x
GR: Hi Chantell how are you?
CH: I'm good!
GR: Thanks for the interview –what are you up to right now?
CD: Thanks for the question; I'm a second year student of Knutsford University College reading Business Administration.
GR: Chantell you was a contestant in the FACE OF BLACK'S SECRET -how did you get involved, find the event and what are you going to do with this wonderful experience?
CD: Hmm, well I saw the Advert on TV and got interested because I love modelling and knew I was [right] for that. It was a nice experience but the part I miss most -is when we had our free time as girls -to do all the konkosa and play around [imitating just how bad some of us walked -with all the attention of our coordinator]. Well I'm so grateful for that [experience] because I get noticed wherever I go and it’s a plus which I intend to use to reach higher heights in life with.
GR: So are you interested in pursuing modelling further -or are you already signed to a model agency?
CD: I'm not just interested but pursuing modelling further is one of my aims in life, -as it’s my dream to become one of Ghana's [most] successful and richest model/Human Resource managers...
GR: Who's your favourite Ghanaian model and why?
CH: Kate Aba Tachie-Menson. I like the way she takes control of the runway. I enjoy watching her shows because it encourages me to work hard on my quest. All-in-all, words can't describe her.
GR: Chantell, you’re based in Accra –and we [in the Diasporas] would love to know what life in Accra is like for a fabulous, fashionable girl like you. Please can you tell us a bit about your day-to-day routine?
CD: I wake up at 6:45am [when I'm in school] so that I can get ready for my 8:00am class. My class ends at 2:00pm. I get back to my hostel and relax for two hours [only when I don't have any appointments], then I get back to my books. I swim once a week [every Sunday after church]. I meet my friends over the weekend and pay attention to [my] modelling when I don't have class and during the weekends.....
GR: You’re pretty busy –how do you chill out?
CD: I chill out during the weekends when am less busy.
GR: Where do you see yourself in five years time?
CD: As a successful corporate woman and -top model.
