What made you decide to enter Miss Congo South Africa?
BM: My primary reason for entering the competition was to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone onto a bigger platform. Secondly, I want to bring attention to the Congolese community in South Africa.
Briefly describe what Miss Congo South Africa is all about?
BM: Miss Congo South Africa is a pageant focused on bringing the Congolese community together by empowering young women.
How has the journey been so far?
BM: It’s a beautiful journey thus far – I’ve met 34 beautiful contestants. The journey of being a part of Miss Congo SA is one that will groom all of us to being our best, which I hope I can accomplish.
What are some of the challenges you’ve had to overcome throughout the competition?
BM: In the competition we’ve been given tasks that vary from acquiring sponsorships, creating partnerships with local business, charity work to securing media coverage.
Who is your biggest inspiration?
BM: My mother (Solange) and father (Theo). Yes, I know it’s a cliché but I’ve honestly never met any other such hard working, loving and selfless individuals; who serve their communities so tirelessly.
Should you win, what are some of the goals you would like to achieve?
BM: I want to partner up with institutions that focus on social development for children and young adults, through motivation and recreational activities. I also want to use this platform to educate people about my country, the Democratic Republic of Congo.
