One of Britain’s promising Black British actresses Misie Goode won the Ms Elegance UK 50+ Beauty Queen 2022. Here is her story…
My name is Misie Goode I am 52 years young with a beautiful daughter who has left the nest many moons ago. (When we go out we obviously look like sisters).
MY STORY
I was presented with the information about Ms Elegance UK Beauty Pageant 2022 by a friend but decided not to enter. I was later scouted when I attended AWSL MUSIC AWARDS 2022 by Gloria Griffith, the pageant’s coordinator. I then thought it was meant to be and so I entered.
I had so much going on in my life personally including being part of a 3 woman show with 12 characters to learn and to execute within 4 weeks during the same time.
I had issues growing up about how pretty I was being the darker skinned in my home and being a ‘Tom Boy’.
Growing older in life I became more aware of my Creator and the importance of knowing and loving self.
I entered the pageant with the mindset to represent Africa, even though My Queen was born in Trinidad and my King was born Jamaica (RIP Daddy). I felt I had to acknowledge and respect my Ancestors as many were taken to the Caribbean.
Now I have been crowned Ms Elegance UK 50+ Beauty Queen 2022, I feel beautiful, overwhelmed and ready to help African women to know and love thyself too, as healing is very important and needed in our community and must be addressed.
