“I was in isolation for Covid-19 in January this year and I received a link from the founder of the competition, Charina Joubert, who motivated me to enter. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone so I entered. I want to inspire young women and men in my community,” said Reddy.
For Reddy, this competition emphasises the redefinition of beauty in the industry as it focuses solely on the inner heart and soul of each individual and how they can make an impactful difference in their communities.

“It is a platform that is against gender-based violence and, from 2022, the platform will be introducing gender equality and mental health,” she said.
When asked what inspires her, she said it came from reading motivational books. She also draws her inspiration from people who are humble, dedicated and hard working.
“I want to work towards expanding my non-profit company, Honeycombe of Hope. I have also started writing articles for online magazines related to mental health and I want to concentrate on working on that,” she said.
