Somalia to debut at Miss Universe 2024 with Khadija Omar


For the first time in history, Somalia will have a representative at Miss Universe with newly appointed Miss Universe Somalia 2024 Khadija Omar.

The 23-year-old beauty made history as the first-ever Miss Universe Somalia and the first hijabi woman to participate in the prestigious international pageant.

Khadija was born in the Hagadera refugee camp in Kenya and emigrated to Canada in 2010.

In March 2022, she made the Top 13 among 97 contestants at the 70th Miss World competition which was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

She will now prepare to represent Somalia at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico this November.

"The universe always rewards the efforts you put in. When one door closes, another opens to even greater possibilities. Keep pushing forward, your moment is coming," she wrote online.
