Speaking to NAlebrity, the 24-year-old model opened up about her upbringing and her journey to Miss Namibia. She said she began modeling at a tender age and she was inspired by her mom.
Shikongo who scooped the coveted crown in June said she was overwhelmed by her major win. She said it has always been her dream to enter Miss Namibia but she did not have time. When she finally decided to enter she beat 14 contestants and claimed the prestigious crown.
“I was definitely overwhelmed and proud that I got the opportunity to be a goodwill ambassador for Namibia and I proved to myself that hard work does really pay off and believing in myself,” she says.
“I feel grateful and honored to represent my country and my beautiful people on a global stage! My father manifested this moment when he named me after the late Chelsi Smith so it only feels right and I am so excited for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.”
