Annette Addo-Yobo : “Miss Texas 2024: North Texas Woman Ready for Success”

DALLAS — Annette Addo-Yobo, a North Texas native with Ghanaian roots, was recently crowned Miss Texas 2024 in a prestigious competition held in Southlake. The talented beauty queen, who previously held the title of Miss Dallas, wowed the judges with her grace, intelligence, and dedication to community service.

Originally born in Ghana, Addo-Yobo moved to the United States and Canada at a young age. She has since become a proud U.S. citizen with a deep connection to her North Texas upbringing. In 2020, she graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, showcasing her dedication to academic excellence.

One of the standout moments of the competition was Addo-Yobo’s powerful spoken word performance, where she passionately advocated for autism awareness. This cause is particularly close to her heart, as her brother is on the autism spectrum. Through her platform, she aims to shed light on the challenges faced by individuals with autism and promote acceptance and understanding in society.

In a heartfelt Instagram post following her win, Addo-Yobo expressed her gratitude and shared her vision for the future. “The Miss Texas crown is much more than just a symbol of beauty. It represents hope, inclusivity, and empowerment for individuals with different abilities,” she stated.
