I’m a beauty queen with a purpose — Awaodigbo
Miss Ifeoma Awaodigbo is the Most Beautiful Model - Southeast Ambassador (MBMSA) 2017. The law undergraduate of Abia State University spoke about her desire to make an impact in the modelling world where she has been for the past six years.
How I started modelling
It’s been six years since I started as a model. I have been in this career for long to know the basic things in the industry while I have modelled for some fashion designers and participated in several pageants.
I started modelling as a teenager while in senior secondary school, and it was just the best time and age to go into the career.
Being a beauty queen has always been on my mind
I have always dreamt of being a beauty queen; but at the beginning, I was so scared and not very confident till I gave it a try. I have often encouraged people to pursue their dreams until they get them.
Why I stayed positive, build faith during the pageantry
The competition was tight, everyone had something special about them that was different and I wondered how the judges were going to narrow it down to one Queen. I tried to have faith and stayed positive, and I thought of only the best for me. However, it wasn’t that easy for me though.
What I’m doing as the 2017 Southeast model ambassador
As a beauty queen you have a lot to accomplish before and after your reign. And there is just one year for that. So I don’t just sit back and stare at the crown without achieving something positive. I will unleash my first pet project and it is about hosting seminars in the five Southeast states to promote education and empowerment for the Girl-child. I believe the project will have a huge impact on helping more girls get educational support.
One must be unique become successful to
I can say I stood out among the other contestants in the pageant maybe because of the way I carried myself. During a practice session, I overheard one of the coordinators saying, “She’s really good”, and that inspired me through the contest‘s duration.
I’m a beauty queen with a purpose – that’s my trademark!
When my reign is over, I want to be remembered as the queen that had beauty andbrains. Whoever takes over has to know that being the Most Beautiful ModelSoutheast Ambassador’ comes with a lot of responsibilities, and not just the fame.
