Support me in my journey for Miss Globe 2020 in Albania 👑

Hello my dear family and friends 💖 As some of you have heard, I was crowned as Miss Globe New Zealand 2020 last week and up to this moment, i am feeling overwhelmed and grateful for all of your support. All of your motivating, genuine and heartfelt messages have truly helped me be courageous in this journey and i could never ever ask for a better support team. Joining and winning the crown for this pageant made me learn more about myself, and has allowed me to share my god-given talents and skills to a wider platform. I've also learned so many new things and have gained 8 wonderful sisters in the last three months.

It's been a wild, unimaginable and crazy journey ~ and what's next for me is even bigger and wilder than i could ever imagine in my entire life. Winning the crown also meant being able to represent New Zealand on International Stage In Albania which is very thrilling and exciting! But unlike most ladies who win the crown, I am set to prepare for this big journey in less than 2 weeks as the competition will be held next month.

Technically speaking, i would have been given the chance to compete next year instead but because of my age - now is my one and only chance to do this. Competing for Miss Globe on the International stage requires the age limit to not be more than 29 ~ and as you all may know, I'm already 29.. very young in my perspective but also quite old for pageants 😅 I am presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity and it would be very hard for me to take this down, despite knowing that i'm not ready enough or i'm not financially ready. That is why i'm coming for your support and help once again to help me with the funds and expenses that i will be covering as part of this journey. This includes the costs on preparations, clothing and things i need to bring with me as i compete in Albania. The biggest challenge for me is being able to cover my quarantine fee worth $3000 NZD. This is the fee i need to pay to isolate myself once i'm back from Albania. No donation is too small and I’d greatly appreciate any amount you can share to help me.

These days, I've been contemplating and thinking about these 2 quotes that motivate me a lot:

"If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives"

"Don't wait until you are ready to take action. Instead, take an action to be ready"

I may be new to the world of pageantry, but i'm determined to join and compete with the hopes of inspiring everyone - especially women; to take action and reach their dreams, to go outside their comfort zones and go for big opportunities, to face their fears and overcome whatever self-doubts they have and to conquer the world because I believe all of us can do it in our own ways. Nothing is impossible and we all just need to take a big leap of faith, trust the almighty, ourselves and the power of community and people who are willing to help.

It is such a great honour and responsibility for me to do this and as early as now, I wanted to say thank you for any support you can share to me from hereon. I'm flying to Albania on the 29th of October and the pageant will run for 2 weeks, with the finals on November 12. I hope to make you all proud!

Salamat po / Thank you / Ngā mihi nui ki a koe 💖
