Alluring, brainy and eloquent are words that best describe Caroline Oresanya Yetunde, the University of Lagos Creative Arts final year student on whose head now sits the Sisi Oge Pride of Africa crown for 2015/2016.
In this interview, Yetunde who defeated 23 other contestants at the pageant’s 9th edition which held in Lagos recently, shares plans for her reign, her journey into beauty pageantry and as one who weirdly prefers to stay behind the camera in spite of her beauty, she reveals that her ambition is to be the world’s biggest creative director.
What do you suspect stood you out?
Caroline Oresanya Yetunde,
I think my sense of creativity did. We were at the camp for two weeks and while there, we were engaged in different activities like, cooking, and mind games, talent hunts and much more, and I think I had an edge over all others in all the activities. I came first in the story-telling competition. I was just being creative all along. I represented the Zulu Kingdom in South Africa but the costume I wore wasn’t what the usual descendant of Zulu will wear.
I wore just a bra and a beaded costume and then a hat. I was just creative with the costumes. I designed my costumes myself, drawing ideas from what we had done earlier in school. We always make costumes in my department at the University of Lagos. I didn’t have any special designer for this contest. My costumes were all self-made and borrowed.
