An unforgettable honour to be hosted for lunch at CBE Julia Morley's home in London. Her warmth, humility, and deep love for Africa were truly inspiring. As someone who has dressed beauty queens since 1999, meeting the visionary behind #BeautyWithAPurpose was a moment I'll always treasure.
Thank you, JEM. ❤️🌍 #MissWorld

We are proud to inform that Miss World Tanzania is the exclusive and official license holder for the Miss World pageant in the United Republic of Tanzania.
This historic milestone marks the beginning of a revitalized journey—one rooted in excellence, purpose, and national pride.
Because sometimes, history isn’t about the trophy, it’s about courage to show up when the world forgot your name.
From Theresia Shayo (1967) to Aina Maeda (1994) to the queens of today — every step, every crown, every story matters.
She walked in 1994 so others could rise in 2025
👑 1994. The Crown Came Back Home.
After 27 years off the Miss World stage, one fearless Tanzanian queen said, “Let’s go again.”
Aina William Maeda — just 20, from Dodoma — carried not just a sash, but a whole nation’s comeback 🇹🇿💫
She didn’t need to win. She was the win.
👑 1967. #London. One #Tanzanian Queen made history.
Her name was Theresia Shayo — the first-ever representative of our nation United Republic of #Tanzania 🇹🇿 at Miss World.
Before the lights, cameras, and hashtags, she carried the dreams of a young nation with elegance and pride — proving that beauty with purpose begins with courage. ✨
She walked so today’s queens could shine, inspire, and #CrownTheChange.
