As a young woman from a country deeply rooted in agriculture, I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of climate change on our food systems. Rising temperatures, biodiversity loss, and erratic rainfall patterns have led to floods, droughts, and food insecurity. The consequences are far-reaching, affecting not only agricultural productivity but also eco-tourism, as iconic species and plants disappear due to climate-related extinction.

As a contestant for Miss Africa 2025, I’m committed to amplifying the voices of young people demanding urgent action to mitigate the effects of climate change. Through sustainable practices and collective efforts, I firmly believe we can restore the health of our planet. Let’s join forces to create a greener future – for ourselves, our communities, and the generations to come.
