Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 26430, member: 2262"] Noxolo Dube from Esigodini hopes to win the Miss Ebony Zimbabwe crown at an upcoming event that has yet to be scheduled. This pageant celebrates dark-skinned women's beauty and cultural heritage. The contest stands out because participants compete without makeup, helping promote natural beauty standards and encouraging self-acceptance among women. As a professional high school teacher, Dube aims to celebrate Zimbabwe's culture, empower young girls, and represent her country internationally. She has experience in acting and modeling, including placing as first runner-up at Miss Hillside Teachers' College in 2023 and reaching the semi-finals of Miss Nature Zimbabwe. Dube expressed excitement about joining Miss Ebony Zimbabwe, which honors African excellence and provides a platform for women to support each other. She believes Zimbabwean women have a responsibility to showcase their culture, heritage, and beauty. She stated she feels proud to help empower dark-skinned women and highlight what makes them beautiful through the pageant that celebrates natural beauty. If successful, Dube will represent Zimbabwe at Miss Ebony Africa in South Africa. She feels ready for this challenge and wants to make her country proud. She believes she can serve as a good ambassador for Zimbabwe and inspire positive changes. Her vision involves creating a better Zimbabwe where girls from rural areas and disadvantaged youth can access equal opportunities, resources, and support. She believes strengthening young people builds a brighter future for the country. Dube runs several community programs encouraging young people to avoid sex before the legal age and stay away from drugs and harmful behaviors. She founded The Noble Performing Arts Organisation, a nonprofit that helps rural girls and disadvantaged youth through performing arts, job skills training, and education. [/QUOTE]
