I may not be an expert in beauty or fashion, but I am certain that the lead for this project is outstanding in her own right, and a highly valued colleague. Anyier Yuol is determined, talented role model (on and off the runway) and selflessly carrying the cost of this feat at her own personal time and expense. I will admit that I am not one to gaze at the beauty of women by their physical appearance or their elegance in a bikini, but I am a huge supporter of genuine community minded services with an orientation towards making an impact and enhancing representation at different levels. This project is admirable and ambitious, and I cannot help but hope to see it succeed. I may skip over the bikini contest and definitely will miss the alcoholic drinks, but I am 100% in for what this pageant ultimately represents in terms of valuing women as they are and appreciating the ways in which people are truly beautiful inside and out. Looking forward to seeing this amazing event in action. Having the privilege of knowing the lead organiser and her endless drive and compassion, I am certain it will be nothing less than exceptional. Thank you for being the change you wish to see in the world, and here’s to beauty that is truly inclusive and representative of us all
