Miss Uganda contestants
Speaking about joining Miss Uganda, Amina said;
One of my dreams has been to become a model, but I never got a chance to model anywhere.
That is why I decided to change the network of people around me and added those who can lead me to my dreams. These are the people who gave me support to join Miss Uganda.
It felt at first like this was not something for me, and it was a bit scary, but these people encouraged me to pick the forms and register.
I joined this competition as a hijabi; even in the photo I submitted, I wasn't in a fancy dress, but in my full Islamic attire. I thought they would reject me. And when I received feedback from them, I was shocked.
Last evening, the Miss Uganda contestants met with this year’s panel of judges ahead of tomorrow’s grand finale
