Pageant veteran Christiana Gure is passionate about charity and the power of giving back.
The youth activist and student is the second woman selected to represent Namibia at the 47th edition of the Miss Intercontinental pageant in Manila, Philippines.
The 25-year-old Gure started her modelling career in high school and has never looked back. She has previously served as Miss Red Cross, Miss Triumphant College, Miss IUM and Miss Hope Namibia, and just last year she added the Miss Journalism Namibia title onto to her list, earning her the opportunity to represent Namibia at Miss Intercontinental.
Her pageant director, Bobby Kaanjosa of Pageant Girls by Bobby K, said Gure is doing very well in Manila and she needs her the country to rally behind her.
“Gure has been doing amazingly during the pageant period. She has been standing out and making an impact on this international platform and definitely putting Namibia on the map despite suffering a foot injury the day before swimwear preliminaries. Christiana was one of those who stood out during the Philippine designer showcase in a gown from designer Ranel Espaldon who also designed her evening gown and national costume,” said Kaanjosa.
The pageant will be broadcast on Facebook and YouTube on the Miss Intercontinental social pages tomorrow. Miss Intercontinental is a pageant that celebrates the beauty of women, shown from both inside and out. Being in her last week of competition, Gure spent the past three weeks in Manila as part of the pageant boot camp, and she had the opportunity to work with the best in fashion in Manila, and met other beauties from around the world.
“I am so excited and humbled to have the opportunity to represent a beautiful nation like Namibia that is full of diversity and creativity. I aim to carry myself with love and gratitude, and the soul and heart of the Namibian people,” said Gure.
