Miss Sahara Pageant

16/04/2025

We’re back—with a beautiful milestone to share.

After announcing a pause in 2024, we’ve quietly continued the work behind the scenes.

You may have seen some of our Miss Sahara ambassadors staying active—delivering workshops, leading community conversations, and representing through our charity, Lead Beyond Education.

Today, we’re proud to announce that Miss Sahara, a Lead Beyond Education initiative, has been nominated for the 2025 ZEST Awards for Outstanding Project – CALD Communities.

This recognition honours five years of impact—from empowering young African women to creating space for representation, community pride, and sisterhood across Australia.

It also celebrates the incredible volunteers, past winners, and supporters who have shared this journey with us.

To our queens and community, thank you. Let’s share it together.yuol

Thank you, Marie Claire Australia, for this beautiful article.
Over the past five years, Miss Sahara Pageant has advocated for young women to be better represented in the beauty and fashion industry. We hope our work will continue to influence the change that is needed. 👏🏿❤️

In the world of soulless beauty pageants, our homegrown Miss Sahara 2023 black-tie gala is a shining light of satin, sequins and empowerment for a new generation of trailblazing Australians.
