The 2014 Miss Universe Pageant is set to broadcast live on NBC on January 25, 2015 at the U.S. Century Bank Arena in Florida, USA. There will be more than 80 women represent their nations around the world competing for the title of Miss Universe 2014. Sierra Leone has never been represented on the Miss Universe stage.

Miss Sierra Leone USA Talks Miss World 2014 - Queens of Africa

Hello world!!!

Hope you and yours are doing well. I'm doing fantastic, thanks to the Almighty. One of the amazing things about the world of pageantry is that there are a lot of titleholders 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 64th edition of Miss World will be held this year on December 14, 2014 at ExCeL London in London, United Kingdom. Miss World 2013 Megan Young from the Philippines will be crowning her successor.

Fact: The Miss World pageant is the oldest surviving major international beauty pageant. The winner spends a year travelling to represent the Miss World Organization and its various causes. Miss World is part of the Big Four international pageants: Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss Earth, and Miss International. 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. Other Challenge Events include: Miss World Talent, Miss World Beach Fashion, Miss World Sports, Miss World Top Model, Miss World Multimedia, etc.

Miss World Africa 2013 Naa Okailey Shooter from Ghana

At Miss World, the highest ranked contestants from all continents in the Top 7 are crowned continental queens. The reigning Miss World Africa is Naa Okailey Shooter from Ghana. Unfortunately, the Republic of Sierra Leone will not be represented at this year's edition of Miss World. The Sierra Leone sash was last worn at this pageant by Miss Sierra Leone 2012 Vanessa Williams at the 2012 MW edition, who was a Top 15 finalist for the MW Talent Challenge.

Miss World 2001 Agbani Darego from Nigeria

Fact: In the history of the Miss World Pageant, 4 women representing African nations (South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria). Agbani Darego is the first Black African woman crowned Miss World in 2001, she was Miss Nigeria 2001; Miss World winners from South Africa (2) and Egypt (1) were of European and Greek descent, respectively. Fun fact: I dressed up as Agbani for Halloween 2013.

Miss Sierra Leone USA Talks Miss Grand International 2014 - Queens of Africa

Hello world!!!

I hope you and yours are doing well. I'm doing fabulous, thanks be to God! In this post, I'll like to highlight the African queens that will be participating in the upcoming Miss Grand International Pageant. The first Miss Grand International pageant was held last year, and the current titleholder is Janelee Chaparro from Puerto Rico who won the title on November 19, 2013.

In an effort to contribute to peace among all, the Miss Grand International beauty pageant adopted a social cause, known as “Stop the War," and MGI delegates work to deliver this message internationally and in their home countries. Over the past year, I have observed this pageant via social media; being one of the newest events in pageantry, they have done very well in promoting their brand and showing their relevance, as well as the fact that the reigning queen has served beautifully. The second Annual Miss Grand International 2014 pageant is set to take place on October 7th in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Republic of Sierra Leone has not yet been represented at this pageant. Meet the women representing their respective countries from the continent of Africa. All the best to these African queens!!!
