The Miss Glam South Africa is all about empowering girls/women, to encourage them in knowing/understanding of the basics of business or rather the fundamental elements of business
Ofentse has learnt about character building, being confident in everything that she do because for the longest time she has struggled with being confident due to being bullied for her weight (being skinny), it has taught her patience through the given tasks. Lastly it has taught her to get out of her comfort zone if she wants something. Another lesson that she learnt is that you need to be okay with being uncomfortable for growth since she’s a person who is antisocial, has social anxiety, she sees progress ever since she has entered this pageant because these tasks require her to go out there and socialise
The final event is on the 10th of December
When asked “Who do you see as the strongest competition and why” she said “To be quite honest I don’t see anyone. Because I believe my strongest competition is myself and how I choose to walk out of this pageant. And also because I believe looking too much into it leads to comparison which leads low self-esteem and you just end up frustrated with yourself for not feeling or rather looking good enough”
Besides modeling what Ofentse likes playing sports and she’s currently still finding ways to go about starting her own business.
The fact that she wanted to overcome this fear (social anxiety) and also the fact that through it she can become a better person as she finds it encouraging. To show those that are just like her that they can still get up and do it
Message to other models
A message to the other models since being a woman in this society is never an easy thing well it’d be that they are more than just a pretty face, smile and body. But they are a carrier of life. So they should be encouraged by positivity , by their strength and intelligence and their minds as it holds aspirations and the desire of chasing their dreams and goals to making them a reality
Community Projects
Well since we’ve been given a task (community project ) I am planning on doing at least 2 of those if possible
First one is to go to an orphanage ,cook (give them food), give out clothes and run some entertainment and the other one is to visit maybe SPCA or just an animal vet
