My favourite part of pageantry I enjoy is the fashion show/top model because this is where you showcase your personality on stage and show everyone what you got. who is your favourite titleholder, current or past? My favourite title holder is Miss World 1994 AishwaryaRai, she’s such an amazing person who still gives back to her commu- nity even today. She’s a big inspiration to me. The current miss world is a very nice and friendly person, she has both inner and outter beauty and to me that’s what all beauty Queens should represent. what all beauty Queens should represent. where did you grow up, which schools did you go to before tertiary?

Speaking in public makes me so nervous What is your beauty with a purpose project? My beauty with a purpose project is introducing the usage of sanitary pads and roll ons in rural areas where they are not used at all and teaching them the importance of using them and teaching young girls that there’s no shame in using sanitary pads. How do you measure success? I measure success by having gained experience that you cannot hide. Also, by achieving goals that may have seemed impossible to achieve.
