It’s an extraordinary day when you meet with Miss World Africa. It’s a special one when you get to spend over two hours with her. This is exactly what happened this afternoon when I bumped into the beauty queen as she was doing fittings for a photo shoot at HarrioHouse African Print Fashion House in Ntinda (opposite Stanbic Bank).
Before I could jump in to have a chat, I asked for a selfie opportunity which she gave me without thinking. Basically we spent the afternoon taking photos, laughing and trying out dresses. Here are few excerpts from our chat where she talks fashion, beauty and her celebrity crushes.
