???? Honour, Gratitude & Euphoria - all rushing through my body at once knowing I am Miss Supranational Netherlands 2020/21. The latest addition to the 12 Months of Beauty & Supra Family. • I don't have enough words to correctly express how much this means to me and how much bigger my aspirations became in a split second. • So for now I will leave it at this. Action speak louder than words anyways. Also, until the official photos are released we're flexing these before and after shots. With tremendous love, Miss Supranational ???? 2020/21, Swelia • • • #12monthsofbeauty #misssupranational #MissSupraseason2020 #MissSupraNL #misssupranationalnetherlands #supra #suprabeauty #netherlands #dutchie #pageantgirl #pageantqueen #blackgirlmagic #melaninwonder #suprafamily

The 23-year-old Swelia wants to give a new dimension to the Black Lives Matter movement in the Netherlands, by using her title to advocate for a stronger position of Afro-Dutch women in society. She emphasized on the goal as she said, “We have a culture of tolerance, a notion that we must constantly sustain. My effort is to dedicate my title and my crown to ameliorate the position of black women in Dutch society. I believe that 2020 came for positive change. From the ground up, we will upgrade.”

Swelia is also a master’s student in Public Administration and Ambassador of Education for the Black Ladies Talk organization. Swelia believes in the strength of unity and association, therefore, both factors will be central to her efforts to attach weight to her crown.

Congratulations to the newly crowned queen!
