The second runner-up for Top Model Uganda, Phoebe Nekesa, aged 21, is set to represent Uganda at the Top Model of the World Pageant in Hurghada, Egypt, this Sunday.
The Ugandan queen, who is also a poet and podcaster, will be joining 44 other beauties from across the world on the global stage for this year’s edition. The pageant will take place from May 12th to May 26th, 2024.
For Nekesa, this opportunity is not just about glamour but also about representing her country and empowering young women to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
Nekesa brings with her a unique blend of traditional African beauty and contemporary elegance. Her journey to the Top Model of the World stage is a testament to her perseverance and dedication in the face of challenges.
Top Model Uganda serves as a platform dedicated to showcasing Ugandan talent on an international stage, utilizing fashion and beauty to advocate for gender equality and combat gender-based violence within Uganda. A notable initiative within Top Model Uganda is #yogelatotya #speakupdontbeafraid, which aims to empower victims to speak out against gender-based violence, as the founder emphasizes that silence perpetuates violence and abuse.
