"This moment is more than just a title—it is a testament to hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. The journey to this crown was not easy. It required resilience, sleepless nights, and pushing through countless obstacles," she continued.
"But through it all, I held onto my dream, knowing this was bigger than me—it was for the young girls who need a voice, for the women breaking barriers, and for Somalia, a nation rich in beauty, strength, and untold stories," she added.
