Namibia’s proud beauty queen Yana Haenisch gave a stellar performance at Miss Supranational 2019 held in 2019 in Poland as she was adjudged first runner-up at the end of the event finale. With her awe-inspiring journey, Yana has created her own unique space in the pageantry.

Yana began her journey at Miss Namibia 2019 where she became one of the front-runners for Miss Universe Namibia 2019 crown but, unfortunately, she lost to Nadja Breytenbach. However, she did win Miss Talented and Miss Photogenic award. Later, she was appointed Miss Supranational Namibia 2019, thereby, winning the chance to represent Namibia in Miss Supranational 2019.

Since she was fulfilling her responsibilities last year as the first runner-up Miss Supranational 2019, it was not possible for her to represent her country at another international pageant. However, this year she will pass over her duties in August and will be eligible to represent her country again!

Being one of the brightest and most talented beauty queens that Namibia has produced, Yana is the ideal representative of Namibia at Miss Universe. She could be the perfect crossover beauty queen from Miss Supranational to Miss Universe in the future. For 2021 edition, Miss Namibia 2021 will be hosting the finale on 5th June 2021 where the winner to represent Namibia will be crowned.

As for her advocacy as Miss Supranational Namibia 2019, Yana focused on the impact and seriousness of the high unemployment rate of the Namibian youth in our country, which is currently at a high of 46.10 %. This shows that she truly cares to make an impact in the universe with her efforts and thus is an ideal candidate to participate in a contest such as Miss Universe.

She is an amalgamation of Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters and Miss Intercontinental 2018 Karen Gallman’s features. Yana has a vast experience of various cultures as she has travelled to various countries to pursue her career as a model.  She is a very beautiful woman who is known for her elegance and grace.
