How did your journey in pageantry begin?

It started with a simple desire to challenge myself. I’ve always admired queens who carried themselves with Grace, influence, and purpose. My first pageant was a leap of faith, Miss Eva 2020, surprisingly I won the pageant competition, it ignited something powerful in me, and then I contested for Miss Afrique Styles international, and was also crowned a Queen. From there, I kept growing, learning, and embracing the journey.

How did you feel emerging Miss Ultimate Queen Africa Tourism?

It was a mix of gratitude, disbelief, and deep responsibility. Being crowned wasn’t just about the crown itself, it was a recognition of my voice, my values, and the work I’ve put into becoming this version of myself. It felt like divine alignment.

What was your biggest challenge during the contest and how did you overcome it?

Self-doubt. There were moments I questioned if I truly belonged there. But I reminded myself of my purpose, leaned on my faith, stayed grounded, and chose to show up confidently, no matter what. That mindset shift made all the difference.

What would you say is your biggest achievement so far?

Beyond the crowns and titles, my biggest achievement is my ability to influence lives positively. Whether it’s a girl who feels more confident because of something I said, or a community that benefits from an outreach project, those moments mean everything to me.

What motivated you to contest in this pageant?

I was drawn by the values the platform stood for, tourism, cultural pride, and empowerment. I wanted to be part of a movement that not only celebrates beauty, but also drives social change. I saw a space where my voice and passion could matter and I went for it.

Has being a Queen clashed with your personality?

Not at all. In fact, it has amplified who I am. I’ve always believed in purpose, discipline, and authenticity, and the crown simply elevated those values. If anything, it made me more self-aware and intentional.

How would you rate your reign as the Miss Ultimate Queen Africa Tourism?

Impactful. Every day of my reign, I’ve chosen to lead with purpose, from community projects to public engagements and creative campaigns. I may not have done everything yet, but I’m proud of the difference I’ve made so far.

How have you been using your office to make impact in your community?

I’ve used my voice and platform to promote cultural tourism, advocate for girl-child education, and support mental health awareness. I’ve also been involved in grassroots empowerment programs, including skills development and youth mentorship.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of pageantry?

Dancing is my therapy, it frees my soul. I also love singing, acting, swimming, volunteering, and exploring different cultures through travel. I’m very passionate about storytelling and bringing African narratives to life.

Who are your role models and why?

I look up to women who lead with both strength and grace, women like Michelle Obama and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. They embody intelligence, impact, and authenticity, everything I strive to reflect in my own way.

After your handover, what is next for Queen Favour?

The crown may pass, but my mission continues. I plan to expand my work in media, grow my impact-driven projects, and deepen my involvement in film and advocacy. This is just the beginning of my legacy.

Describe your personal style in three words.

Bold. Elegant. Afrocentric.

What is your favorite thing about being a beauty queen?

The ability to influence lives with not just beauty, but purpose. Wearing a crown gives you a louder voice, and using it to uplift others is the most rewarding part.

Any message for those young girls aspiring to become the Miss Ultimate Queen?

Believe in your value, even when others don’t see it yet. The crown starts in your mindset. Stay true to your vision, put in the work, and walk with grace. Your dreams are valid, and your voice is powerful.
