The nearly 30 participants who will be competing for the Kenyan crown are expected to go through a professional training including choreography, grooming, pageant walking and specialized workshops. Make up training on the 28th of May, for example, was done by Madora with the upscale Paris-based line, Black Up, which is known for its range of quality makeup.
The outgoing Miss India Kenya Aliza Rajan shared how last year’s shaped her up. “I represented Kenya at the Miss India Worldwide 2015 finals in Mumbai. Being able to represent my country on an international platform was an absolute honor. I was able to represent the Indian in me while proudly being Kenyan. I fell in love with the pageant world ever since I participated. It made me realize that it’s not all about beauty but rather about being a role model, giving back to the community and most importantly, being proud of your culture and background,” she says.
