Current Miss University Beauty Queen, Miss Mariyam Lorba Konneh said: “I always wanted to be a star that was she used the opportunity to showcase to the world what I am capable of doing. I was raised in a decent environment with a very religious and strict dad who used to have a negative perception about pageantry but after I educated him about it his perception changed and father and the entire family have been so supportive to me.”

Miss University Beauty Pageant was first held in 2011 and is one of the biggest beauty pageants in the country, bringing together participants from universities in Sierra Leone.
