I get a lot of questions every day on how it is to participate in Miss Norway and why I decided to do so. I do think people will be surprised by how much it has affected and changed my life in a positive way the past months. When I was chosen among approximately 35 girls in September I decided to go all in.
I really needed a drive and a new motivation that was bigger than myself, and I wanted to make a change. Miss Norway gave me a reason to actually do it, follow my dreams and start the projects I had in back of my head for a while.
Since September, I have swapped jobs, I have moved from New York to Los Angeles, I have planned a trip to Kenya to help street kids, victim of abuse and violence. I have tried to make a difference in segmented groups in my hometown, and after all I have met so many amazing people.
By being in Miss Norway and represent your country and citym, have made me interact with people world wide. I am able to have a voice in the way we views beauty today, I shoot with amazing photographers and work with talented people. I am able to use my voice in the society to influence girls and people to a better everyday (at least I hope I do). But based on the feedback I have gotten so far it seems like it.
All these experiences I have had these past months and the people I have met have changed me as a person. I have grown so much, because I have followed me dreams, worked hard, and did what I have too. Because I wanted and I needed too.
Before Miss Norway I needed a change in my life to become the best version of myself. I felt I was a little lost in a busy and toxic level in New York, but now it is all changing. I wanted to share this experience with you because it is such a beautiful thing, and It really have affected my life the past months to something better. I feel more happy and healthy and good. It is 5 months or so left of the competition, I have so much exciting to look forward to and I can not wait to see where this journey will lead too. But I am so thankful for this experience and that I can be a part of this.
Sunny blessings from Los Angeles!
