A born leader and a proud student of IPAM, University of Sierra Leone, Mariyam first captured the nation’s heart when she represented her university at the prestigious AYV Miss University 2022—and won.

The platform brings girls from all walks of life to share their stories, inspiring thousands through honesty, strength, and hope.

In several social media posts, descendants of Pujehun are called upon to rally behind their daughter, noting, “she represents our heritage, our values, and our dreams.
