When you approach people, they often question why you are involved in beauty pageants instead of focusing on other pursuits like education.

Despite facing such discouragements, Miriam remains resolute in her commitment to contribute positively to society through her platform as Miss Ghana 2022.

Addressing queries about encountering sexual advances from men within these organizations, Miriam acknowledged the existence of such advances, citing it as a common phenomenon in various professional spheres.
