MISS AFRICA USA: VICTORIA NJAU AS MISS KENYA

KENYA

She is certainly beautiful, poised, eloquent and full of confidence. Miss Kenya placed as the 2nd runner up at the Miss Africa USA Pageant 2008. She left a mark on the audience in the way she carried herself on stage and her eloquence. Miss Victoria Njau thrilled the audience with her adaptation of the Poem : Phenomenal woman………..An African Woman is a Phenomenal Woman.  She sure gave the poem all its worth on pageant night because she was excellent.  Miss Kenya spoke of a difficult childhood growing up in a little village in Kenya and was thankful to have all the opporutunities that America has offered her and she is now able to give back to her village where children are still very deprived. Her story was very touching indeed.  She rightly said you do not have to be Oprah Winfrey to give back and she is happy to share the little she has with the deprived of the village she grew up in, back in her homeland Kenya.

designer-estella-ogbonna

In all simplicity and modesty, Estella Couture wraps her mind in her creations  as one of Africa’s most sort after Designers not only in the USA but also around the world.  Estella Couture met Lady Kate Njeuma, the Executive Producer of Miss Africa USA back in 2007 at the Miss Africa Preliminaries in Silver Spring Maryland.  Estella was a judge at the preliminaries after which networking between the two followed.  Estella was invited as one of the top designers for the Miss Africa USA Pageant in 2007. She designed for Miss Liberia and Miss Sierra Leone who were among the top 5 winners of the pageant with no doubt that their outfits certainly earned some well deserved points.

The following year Estella was again invited, this time as the Designer for the pageant and her creative mind got to work, producing the Miss Africa USA Signature flag out fits. Each delegate had an outfit made to reflect the flags of their countries. It was awesome, all the vibrant African colors were lighting up the stage at the 2008 pageant.  It certainly was not an easy task to have accomplished either.

Estella was fully on board with the Miss Africa USA Pageant with the most beautiful and glamorous designs for the Evenning Wear Segment. Great African fashion with Western theme. Estella Couture once againg performed beyond expectations. 

 Lady Kate Njeuma is proud to congratulate Estella Couture for her dynamism and creativity, placing African Couture on the agenda in the global fashion industry.  From the Miss Africa USA Pageant we say thank you Estella and May God Grant you more inspirations.

THOMASVILLE — This weekend marks the second annual Black Heritage Festival, sponsored by Jack Hadley History Memorabilia Inc. and the Douglass High School Alumni Association Inc.

The events are scheduled to start Friday and conclude on Sunday. The three-day event will take place at the Frederick Douglass Complex, located at 214 Alexander St. Some guests expected for the event include Pastor Brian McKinney, the Tallahassee Buffalo Soldier Motorcycle Club and Miss Africa USA 2007-08 Mfonobong Essiet, who will particiapte in Saturday’s ribbon cutting.

Lauren Dixon, professionally known as L-Boogie, will be taking over some hosting duties for the festival. A young and successful black female, she realizes the importance of such a celebration.

“First, as an African-American woman and a historical black colleges and universities graduate, I am always anxious to get involved, and also I am always happy to come to Thomasville to meet my radio listeners who don’t necessarily make that trip to Tallahassee,” she said.

Originally from the Miami area, she moved to Tallahassee to pursue a journalism degree at Florida A&M University. She graduated in the spring of 2006 and landed a job as an on-air personality at Blazin 102.3 FM in Tallahassee. Such education and presence is what landed the gig as host to Saturday’s events.

Jewel Nana Thompson: Miss Ghana USA 2007

Jewel Nana Thompson won the Humanitarian Award for 2007, she had a great humanitarian platform which she is determined to see through. Miss Jewel is partnering with the Ghanaian Community leaders and also the African Women’s Development Foundation to put together a Medical Mission in Ghana. Miss Jewel is leading this project that has taken some time to get off the ground but I am glad to say it will soon become a reality when a container of Medical supplies and equipment will be delivered to a hospital in Kumasi Ghana in 2009. The pageant is supporting Jewel in her endeavors.
