Beauty Kamushidulu, a self declared and firm believer in girl empowerment wants to make significant contribution towards empowering the girl child in the Ohangwena region starting in her own Oshikunde Constituency. "Winning this pageant is a big deal for me at this smaller stage as I get to be pioneer for young girls across the Ohangwena region, especially from schools. I want to be someone, a young lady they could look up to and if I can empower them through various regional programmes, that will be the ultimate prize," she says.
