Her introduction round was spectacular where she said, “Despite failing multiple times to clear my CA and the world telling me to give up, I raged forward with fire in my heart, tenacity in my soul and fierceness that is dependable and now I work as a chartered accountant in a prestigious American university.From being fat-shamed to an international model and a humble national pageant winner, today, as a trailblazer, I stand in front of you flawed, but fearless, and empowered by my perfect imperfections.”
