Menaye Donkor Muntari- former Miss Universe Ghana 2003, Model, Actress, Philanthropist & Sulley Muntari- AC Milan /Ghana Black Star footballer will be in New York on February 26-29th for the Ghana Vs. Chile friendly match promoting unity & peace for the upcoming Ghana elections along with giving their fans in the United States an opportunity to see their Black Stars in play at Philadelphia Union’s Pple Park for the first time since they became the global fan favorites at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the sad loss that brought back the old wounds of the Black Star Nation at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations co-hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
Sulley Muntari is currently on loan to AC Milan from Inter Milan, where he played his first game & scored the first goal to garner AC Milan a 3-0 win against Cesena , returning AC Milan to the top of Serie A. Muntari was part of Coach Jose Mourinho’s European Cup winning team in 2010, which marked Inter Milan’s first European Cup win since 1965. Muntari was one of three African players featured in Vanity Fair’s spread shot by famed photographer Annie Liebovitz dedicated to the 2010 World Cup held for the first time in Africa. With over thirty goals scored in his career, Muntari maybe known on the field as an aggressive hot tempered passionate player, but off the court he is a make love not war loving husband & uncle to many, who sites artists like Usher amongst his favorite artists to listen to before warming up for his matches. Sulley was also recently featured supporting Ghana’s top hip-life recording artist Sarkodie and the Azonto dance craze that has taken over the world from the shores of Ghana West, Africa.
Menaye was the only African woman featured in Fox Sports sexiest World Cup WAGs (Football wives & girlfriends) in 2010 and has been featured in Maxim Magazine’s Italy edition along with countless other magazines in Europe and Africa. She has an ongoing health & fitness blog with OK! Magazine’s Famously Fit and will be a guest judge on the African based Project Runway styled show entitled “Fashion Power” along with the makeover show “M.O.D” (Make Over Divas & Men of Distinction) shooting in Ghana & Nigeria from March thru April. Menaye is not only a beautiful model, but also a great philanthropist who recently commissioned an ICT center at her namesake charity school for boys and girls in Ghana with her husband Sulley Muntari, along with giving the funding needed for the Ghana Black Star Supporters group to be able to cheer on their National Team at the 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations. Menaye has been a great role model for young girls in Ghana with her push for education, AIDS awareness and her upcoming two new fashion based shows making the dreams of young fashion designers & fashionistas from Ghana come true with an opportunity for mentorship and to promote their designs internationally. WithVogue Italia’s Franca Sozzani’s exploratory trip to Ghana and Nigeria to learn more about the fashion industry in Africa, it has put more of a spotlight on what African celebrities like Menaye have been doing in making sure they often wear African designers to their high profile events. Menaye and Sulley are in the forefront of supporting and funding many projects dedicated to education, arts and sports programs in their native country of Ghana, West Africa and are excited about coming to see their fans and supporters in the United States.
