Aicha Cooper

Miss Liberia Minnesota 2007-2008





It was the 2nd Day of Pageant week. All of the contestants had checked into New York and the following day we headed up to the Hamptons. All execept Aicha who was coming in late from MN and had transportation problems once she arrived in New York's JFK Airport. Her travel from her home state seemed to take all day. She did not meet up with rest of the group until the wee hours of the following morning.



Despite the hectic travel and flight delays. Aicha had a sense calmness about her. She never buckled under pressure and never missed a beat. She was up bright and early the following to begin her pageant boot camp training with the rest of the contestants.

Being a Miss Liberia in US State Queen is not always about being glamourous. You have to be able to adjust and adapt to any situtation that may come up; from missed flights, early morning reahearsals, and just stress of the competition itself and top it all off, you have to do it with the most ultimate grace and style.
