IMMEDIATE RELEASE Miss Universe Canada 2020 Nova Stevens ‘WE*R ONE’… Every Adventure With Love TORONTO, ON (Monday, April 12, 2021) – The reigning Miss Universe Canada Nova Stevens, has evolved from a 6-year-old child migrant fleeing civil war in South Sudan, to being named Miss Universe Canada in 2020. Following this remarkable life journey, Nova is about to embark on another extraordinary quest. Throughout the WE*R ONE adventure, she will visit four countries (USA, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia and South Sudan) flying with our Airline partner Ethiopian Airlines, to share her human rights and philanthropic passions, bring a message of unity to South Sudan as a Sudanese-born Canadian, and ultimately reunite with her family - and Mother Africa - after a 21-year separation. Nova would like to share her message of inclusion, love, hope, unity and forgiveness to the people of South Sudan. As a South Sudanese Canadian, Nova wants to bring togetherness. No division amongst tribes, because she believes that “WE* R ONE”. Due to the AIDS pandemic as well as the global pandemic we are currently experiencing, Nova feels that the key to safety is awareness of the need to “know your status” regarding both HIV and COVID- 19. She will also use this opportunity to donate COVID-19 and HIV rapid testing kits to the communities she will visit in Ethiopia and South Sudan. About Nova Stevens: Dynamic, resilient, persistent, and full of life, this is how those who know her best would describe Nova. However, asked to describe herself, Nova would emphasize resiliency and the power of faith in being able to change your circumstances. After her family fled a brutal civil war in South Sudan, Nova was sent alone to Canada at age 6 to be able to have a better life. Leaving behind her mother in a UN camp in South Sudan and her father and siblings in Ethiopia, Nova has used her new chance at life in Canada as a driving factor to finally reunite with her family during the WE*R ONE adventure.

Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants
Contesting Nationalisms: Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants By Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and in the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Paola Bacchetta Professor Ann Swidler Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Michael Watts Fall 2012 2012 Copyright Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun Abstract Contesting Nationalisms: Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants by Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and in the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Over the last five decades, Nigeria has moved from being a nation enjoying its new post-colonial independence to a nation self-consciously placed within the international political economy. In this dissertation, I show how the complexity and tensions of this shift have helped shape, and are reflected in the Nigerian beauty pageant industry. Drawing on a case study of three beauty pageants, two national and one international, I compare the production, symbolism, and political controversies surrounding each pageant and the way it represents the Nigerian nation. I use these cases to argue that national identity exists at multiple levels and is constructed through and towards both national and international audiences. Organizers, contestants, corporate sponsors, fans and opposition groups manage and present the nation through pageants. They negotiate between highlighting cultural diversity within the country and displaying a shared national culture in a global world.
