first contestant to wear headscarf at Miss Universe Great Britain

[FUTURE2050]

A Londoner is set to become the first Miss Universe Great Britain contestant to wear a headscarf in the competition.

Business account manager Farhia Ali will take part in the final in July, where she will be one of 40 contestants with the chance to represent the nation at Miss Universe.


Ms Ali, who moved to the UK from Somalia as a child, spends much of her spare time doing voluntary and community work both at home and in Kenya.

She said the competition is offering her an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of the UK.

“I feel that now more than ever it is important for women to feel valued in this world," she said.

“Being a woman of colour, I have used this desire to push me to achieve excellence in everything that I do. Moving to Great Britain as a young child provided me with endless opportunities.

“I often travel back to Kenya where most of my family live and seeing the devastation in the rural areas showed me that living in the UK our education, wellbeing and future are prioritised.

“The importance of education has motivated me to want a better education for young women, young mothers and victims of FGM and forced marriages.”

Why are only dark skinned women representing Somalia/Somalis? What about the light skinned women? These girls they select all look alike, it's getting boring now.

Is this organised by the Somali community? Her hair is visible all’s Iranian style, why would she bother with the hijab? I shouldn’t judge her negatively. Do you’ve a fuller picture of her? Hard to gauge if she can win it by that picture.

Hijab is more of culture dressing. But for this competition she is using it to guilt trip white liberals. Without hijab she dont belong to a beauty competition. With hijab good like telling her she is ugly.......you will get reaction

They all look like clones of each other. I'm tired. I wanna see a lightie who doesn't have a traumatic refuge story she can use to guilt trip cadaans.

 

[911]

This girl is not dark yall acting like she’s Lupita.

You can be lighter than Lupita and still be dark. There are many shades of dark.

@HalimaJ

The others look alike, but not this one. This one looks like they found her on the assembly line of a chicken processing plant and hasn’t showered and changed clothes after her shift. Blame the English, Wayne Rooney’s wife is what they call a super model.

Lightskin girls don't do modeling unless it is for weddings/events where they make alot of money off of without shaming the community like these darkies do

It’s not about her skin tone, she’s too average to be in a beauty pageant. She’s not even girl next door pretty...just very normie looking.
