UK-BASED fashion blogger, Abbah Fadzai Kapito, has been selected as one of the Miss Africa Great Britain finalists, representing Zimbabwe.
In an interview with H-Metro, Fadzai said she is a social worker and a fashion blogger.
“Every day is a dress up day for me since I’m a fashion blogger and social worker professionally.
“I feel honoured to represent my home country, it’s been my dream since I was a little girl.
“Zimbabwe is a country which stands on its own ground, and has so much hidden talent, because of resources.
“I’m proud to be representing my country and this will be a way of supporting my fellow Zimbabweans and being the voice of the people.”
Growing up in Highfield gave the fashion blogger a blueprint of giving back to her home country.
She is passionate about the prevention of child pregnancies in Zimbabwe.
“Winning this means so much to me as it will open doors and platforms for my campaign of preventing teenage pregnancy and making sex education mandatory for Zimbabwean youths.
“I grew up in Highfield, Harare.
“l have been mocked several times for growing up in the ghetto but the ghetto youths are the ones doing the most as we can adjust and adapt to any environment
“I’m currently working with a charity organisation in Ruwa for the less privileged and crippled.
“There is so much hidden talent in Zimbabwe, as youths, it’s important to work together and uplift each other for a better future for our country and I’m ready to bring the crown home and make a change.”
The pageant was formed with the sole purpose of giving young Africans, born or living in the United Kingdom, a platform to showcase not only their beauty but their culture, talent and creativity.
The winner becomes a goodwill ambassador for Miss Africa GB, charged with designing and implementing a charity programme.
