Quiin Abenakyo who was recently crowned Miss World Africa at 2018 Miss World finale in China is now a real African Natural queen.
A computer science student who hails from Mayuge, Eastern Uganda is the first Uganda to make it to the top 5 in the Miss World finalists.
Shortly after she returned home from Sanya China, on 19th December 2018, Quiin Abenakyo paid a courtesy call to the president at the state house where she was applauded by president for her achievement and advised her to stop wearing Indian hair and urged her to keep her national African hair.
“Abenakyo is indeed a tall, beautiful Musoga girl. My only concern is that she was wearing Indian hair. I have encouraged her to keep her natural, African hair. We must show African beauty in its natural form,” Museveni tweeted.
The president promised to host her to a dinner at the state house which was held on Saturday at his home in Rwakitura, Kiruhura District.
This time Quiin Abenakyo responded to the president’s advice and showed up with her national her which the president appreciated.
“When we met in Entebbe, I advised Abenakyo to keep her hair natural. I am glad she heeded the advice and re-asserted her African identity. God beautifully created Africans, there is no need to add or subtract anything,” President Museveni tweeted today.
Abenakyo is an advocate of responsible living among young people specifically focussing on helping young girls to live responsible health lifestyle.
President Museveni also pledged that government will support Abenakyo’s foundation which will work towards ending high rates of early pregnancies across the country especially in Busoga region.
Of recent Speaker of parliament Hon Rebecca Kadaga came out and rallied fellow legislators and Ugandans to support Abenakyo’s theme of ending early pregnancies among girls across the country.
