You name it and she fulfils every criteria required to be the next Miss World. I am talking about than none other than Ajaa Kiir Monchol, a 22-year-old public relations officer and Miss World South Sudan 2015.
Before I talk more in detail about the lovely Ajah, let me walk you all
through memory lane of previous Miss World South Sudan delegates.
South Sudan became the youngest nation
in the world in 2011 when it gained independence and soon after that
beauties of South Sudan officially entered the world of pageantry and
took it by storm. The very first being Atong Demach, who captured
everyone’s heart with her eloquence and charm. She attained the highest
placement for South Sudan and Africa in 2012 and won awards such as Best
in Interview, Miss World Top Model and Miss World Africa, the fans know
that the real Miss World 2012
is South Sudan. Her legacy was continued by Manuela Modong, an equally
stunning dame with a flawless dark skin and never forget to mention her
tall height. She enamoured everyone with her fantastic top 10 top model
finish. The next delegate was Awien Agoth
who did not let her countrymen down. Like her predecessors, she was
tall and dark and beautiful and placed second in Interview and top 5 in
Top Model, the most sort after fast track of Miss World. Her Grace and
charm and her efforts landed her a top 25 spot in Miss world finals and
fans were quite disappointed with her top 11 exclusion.
Ajaa Kiir Monchol was crowned as Miss World South Sudan 2015
She was crowned Miss World South Sudan 2015 on September 27th 2015 and was a heavy favourite to win the crown, and she did beating other 12 beauties
to claim the top prize. Ajah describes herself as ‘loyal, courageous
and friendly.’ Born in Ethiopia, she grew up in Kenya and South Sudan,
and is now a citizen of the world’s youngest nation. A PR officer, she
aims to branch into accounting, and would love to work for an
international banking organisation in the future. Sporty, Ajah enjoys
playing basketball, netball and volleyball, she is a skilled acrobat,
and she is a keen dancer. Recently she modelled for Doreen Mashika
Zanzibar, and was the face of their campaign. Ajah is an avid reader and
her favourite book is Ben Carson’s Think Big.
As the saying goes, heavy is the head
that wears the crown, Ajah had big shoes to fill in because the amount
of success her predecessors had achieved was simply massive. Initially
people were not putting her as the heavy favourite to win miss world or
even best in Africa but things changed slowly and steadily as pageant
fans started to see more and more of her. I won’t be wrong if I say
South Sudanese are born models, with her towering height (at 188, 6’2)
she is the tallest delegate at Miss World something which will make her
stand out especially at Top Model challenge event.Another thing which
makes her a top bet is her BWP project which concerns about women
suffering from fistula.
In her own words she says, “The journey of beauties with a purpose of South Sudan
started strong in 2012 and has been through the years. This year my
goal as Miss World South Sudan is to advocate for rehabilitation of
Fistula patients. For those of you who don’t know what Fistula is.
Fistula is an injury caused by prolonged labor that leaves women leaking
urine, feces, or both, and usually results in social isolation, and
depression. There is an estimate of 60,000 women and girls who suffer
from Fistula in South Sudan. My aim is to advocate for rehabilitation
services for Fistula survivors, so they feel loved and cared for and are
reintegrated back into their communities. With the support of my
country and Miss World Organization, I hope to continue the legacy of
Beauty with Purpose.”
Another event which she could really
well is the Sports challenge event and she feels most confident about
doing well in that event. South Sudanese beauties have always done well
at the Interview round and Ajah is no exception. If anyone follows her
page, they will know that she is not just a beauty but an Intelligent
beauty. Following was a post from her page which impressed me the most.
“The woman who follows the crowd will
usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is
likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before” – Albert
Einstein.
Moreover, we need a humble, caring, outreaching Miss World. She says
“With humility, let us join hands to serve humanity with the abilities we possess.”
Having taken all the points above, she
is surely going to perform well in almost all the fast tracks and well
who knows we might see the blue crown on her head. What more can Miss
World be? She is everything that Miss World can be and more!!!
