The Miss Cameroun organization recently announced Michele Ange Minkata as the official representative of Cameroon for Miss Universe 2021. The pageant veteran succeeded Miss Universe Cameroon 2020 Angèle Kossinda to the title.

The 25-year-old Michele holds a bachelor’s degree in Applied Geography and graduated from University of Beau in 2013. She also partakes in modelling work professionally. Founder of ‘Angels and Queens’, an academy, the entrepreneur launched several months ago to share her experience and knowledge about beauty pageants, wishes to empower young Cameroonian girls who want to undertake the same path as her.

“It’s with a heart full of emotions that I announce that I have the honor and privilege to proudly represent our beautiful country CAMEROON at the 70th prestigious edition of Miss Universe, on the 12th of December in Eilat, Israel. I am extremely grateful to the Miss Cameroun organization for giving me such a responsibility. Once again I am counting on your endless support so together we can fly our country’s flag as high as we can,” the queen shared the news on her social media.

Michele is no stranger to the world of pageantry, earlier she won the Miss World Cameroon 2017 title and represented Cameroon at Miss World 2017. She also competed in Miss Asia Pacific International 2019, where she made it to the Top 25 and won the continental title under African continent category.

Cameroon debuted at the Miss Universe competition last year under the delegation of Angèle Kossinda where she was highly appreciated for her performance but unfortunately remained unplaced at the end of the event. This year, Michele will represent the country at Miss Universe 2021, scheduled to be held on 12th December in Eilat, Israel.

Congratulations queen!
