The top eight finalists of Miss Sahara 2019 embodied the notion of “Black is Beautiful,” on April 13th, 2019 and they were diversifying the perception of beauty at the Bellevue Venue, in Bankstown.
South Sudanese refugee Anyier Yuol is the winner of the 2023 Les Murray Award for Refugee Recognition.
Anyier Yuol has packed a lot into her 26 years; she’s played soccer at an international level, has been crowned an international beauty queen and is doing a PhD. She’s also on a mission to change the face of the Australian fashion industry through Miss Sahara, her beauty pageant for young African-Australian women and her modelling agency. Come backstage to meet the woman who grew up in a refugee camp but who is determined to empower young women to be leaders and beauty queens.
In the world of soulless beauty pageants, our homegrown Miss Sahara is a shining light of satin, sequins and empowerment for a new generation of trailblazing Australians.
