Hello world!!!
Hope you and yours are doing well. I'm doing fantastic, thanks to the Almighty. Being that the Miss Sierra Leone USA Pageant is the first and only pageant I've competed in, I spent time prior to the pageant and continue to grow, admire, and be inspired by past and present titleholders. One of the amazing things about the world of pageantry is that there are lots of titleholders, pageant junkies, and pageant systems out there to learn from around the world, it all depends on what traits and characteristics you're looking for out there because there's a role model Queen doing or an organization supporting your kind of platform! One of the most famous pageants in the world is the Miss World Pageant. The upcoming 63rd edition of MW will be held this year on September 28th in Bali, Indonesia.

Beauty with a Purpose, formerly known as Miss World Scholarship, is an event established in 2001 that is celebrated during the activities prior to the Miss World pageant. It awards the contestant with the most relevant and important charity project in her nation.

As a reigning titleholder and Brown girl, I am inspired by my fellow Queens of African ancestry in the Continent, as well as by Queens around the world. The purpose of this blog post is to to highlight the beautiful and elegant women representing the continent of Africa. There is currently no representative for the Republic of Sierra Leone for this year's edition of MW. The list of representatives shown below are those currently confirmed, the list may increase because some African nations may still need to crown a Queen and the MW 2013 is a month and half away (updates/additions will be posted when necessary).
