Born on November 11, 1992, in Accra – Ghana, Victoria Adede Mensah carries the profound weight and honor of a distinguished noble heritage. As a prominent descendent of the Kona Royal Family, she represents the union of two historic traditions: the royalty of Kromantse from her grandmother’s (Mary Kesse) lineage and the noble house of Ajumako from her grandfather’s side (Joseph Essuamah).

Early Life

As an Odehye (royal by blood), Victoria is a direct descendant of two prestigious matrilineal stools. She stands as a living testament to the strength, resilience, and cultural richness of her ancestors, embodying the dignity of a lineage that has shaped the history of her people.

At the age of five, in 1998, Victoria relocated to Italy with her parents, where she has spent the majority of her life. From an early age, she exhibited a profound curiosity about the world and a deep passion for learning, traits that have guided her through a multifaceted educational and professional journey.

Education & Career

Raised in an environment that fostered ambition and creativity, Victoria was deeply inspired by her mother, a highly skilled seamstress and successful entrepreneur who operated her own tailoring business in Tema and mentored numerous apprentices. This upbringing cultivated in Victoria a strong appreciation for fashion and an enduring passion for the beauty industry.

She pursued a diverse educational path, earning certifications in professional makeup artistry (2017, La Truccheria di Makeup Forever, Bologna); culinary art and catering, II European level (2009); real estate and luxury home mortgage (2023); property management (2023); hospitality (2023); and home staging (2023). These qualifications equipped her with a versatile foundation that supported her transition into the workforce. After more than twelve years of employment in the commercial and telecommunications sectors, Victoria successfully launched several entrepreneurial ventures across different industries.

Passion and Life Paths

Having grown up in her mother’s tailor shop, Victoria was surrounded by elegance and creativity from a young age. She often wore custom-made, one-of-a-kind garments crafted by her mother, clothing she proudly showcased on every occasion. By the age of four, she had already begun exploring the world of beauty and cosmetics, a passion that deepened during her teenage years. She eventually started offering makeup services for friends and clients, particularly for weddings, birthdays, baptisms, international pageants, professional photo shoots, and other special events. This early exposure helped her refine her artistic skills and build confidence in her talent.

At 18, Victoria entered the fashion industry as a model, participating in numerous photoshoots, runway shows, and beauty pageants, including Miss Ghana’s Queen 2011 (Holland), Miss Ghana Italy 2013, Miss West Africa 2013, Miss Africa Italy 2014 and the regional selections for Miss World Italy.

She was awarded titles such as Miss Photogenic and Miss Elegance, and her television appearances (Rapporto Carrelli, Sky TV) further increased her visibility and connections in the fashion, beauty and entertainment industry. As she matured, Victoria’s desire to explore the world and traveling became one of her greatest passions. Along the way, she also developed a keen interest in art, architecture, and real estate, interests that would later become integral to her entrepreneurial pursuits.

Professional Achievements

Determined to elevate her craft, Victoria pursued advanced training at La Truccheria Accademy di Makeup Forever in Bologna and became a certified professional makeup artist and visagist. Her talent, dedication, and professionalism allowed her to collaborate on numerous high-profile projects while continuing her work in Italy’s commercial and telecommunications sectors with notable companies such as Abercrombie & Fitch (2011-2013), & Other Stories (2013-2018) and Fastweb Spa (2018-2023).

In September 2021, she founded her first beauty brand, Adede Cosmetics, offering natural cosmetic products that reflect her dedication to quality and aesthetic excellence. In September 2022, Adede Cosmetics proudly sponsored Il Salotto delle Celebrità at the Venice Film Festival, gaining exposure in prominent media outlets such as Visto Magazine, International Web Post, DGNews, Tag24, Italy in the World, Uffici Stampa Nazionale, Vip Vanity, Zarabazà, Talky! Media, 24 Ore News, and many more.

In December 2022, Victoria opened the first Adede Cosmetics Pop-up Boutique in the center of Milan, at Cordusio. This was a key milestone, it was the first time customers could truly experience the brand’s quality in person. Moving from a digital space to a physical location like Milan allowed Victoria to connect with her community on a deeper level.

In late 2023, driven by a passion for empowering others, Victoria authored two impactful books: ‘BUSINESS NOW’, where she demystifies the world of startups with practical strategies, and her personal growth journal ‘IO POSSO!: Afferma & Manifesta’, which helps readers cultivate gratitude and manifest their dreams through daily practice.

In 2024, Victoria and her brand were nominated for the prestigious Black Carpet Awards, and featured in Vogue Italia articles such as Black Carpet Awards: category LEADER OF CHANGE ENTREPRENEURSHIP and Facciamo La Differenza by Anna Osei; Fashion Network and Rivista Africa, a testament to her growing influence in the industry.

Despite her many accomplishments, Victoria remains driven by an unrelenting vision and continues to dream bigger. While Adede Cosmetics is no longer in operation, it still enjoys a cult following. To this day, the products remain in high demand, a true testament to the brand’s impact and the lasting impression it left on its community. Victoria eventually chose to close this chapter to channel her vision into new professional horizons, viewing Adede not as an end point, but as a successful foundation for her next creative ventures. She has left Adede as a ‘time capsule’ of excellence: a brand that arrived, made its mark, and maintained its integrity until the very last day.

The greatest joy is not in what is held in the hand, but in the light brought into another’s life. To give does not empty the soul, it fills it.

La gioia più grande non sta in ciò che si tiene tra le mani, ma nella luce che si porta nella vita di un altro. Dare non svuota l’anima, la riempie.

La mayor alegría no está en lo que se sostiene en las manos, sino en la luz que se lleva a la vida de otra persona. Dar no vacía el alma, la llena.

Die größte Freude liegt nicht in dem, was man in den Händen hält, sondern im Licht, das man in das Leben eines anderen bringt. Geben leert die Seele nicht, es erfüllt sie.

La plus grande joie ne réside pas dans ce que l’on tient entre les mains, mais dans la lumière que l’on apporte dans la vie d’un autre. Donner ne vide pas l’âme, cela la remplit.

最大的喜悦不在于手中所握之物,而在于带给他人生命的光芒。给予不会让灵魂空虚,反而充实它。
