she posted on her ig page few hours ago narrating her journey so far
”2017 I had this dream of walking the Miss Universe stage with no idea of what it means to be a Queen.
7 years later , in just exactly 8 days I, Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina will be walking the Miss Universe stage. Win or not I am so proud of myself and filled with so much joy and fulfilment for I am about to accomplish what once seemed impossible. I envisioned this moment and I’m about to make it a reality.
This journey hasn’t been easy for me mentally and emotionally. The tears , the pain , the trauma. The days I felt like giving up, the days I felt unworthy and undeserving, however I refuse to let anyone or anything dim my vision.
This achievement is not just mine but it’s for NIGERIA , it’s for AFRICA. Your support and encouragement has been the fuel to my fire.
To anyone who has ever doubted themselves, I see you and i believe in you . Your dreams are valid. Dont let fear hold you back. Don’t let doubt whisper you can’t because YOU CAN ❤️
The journey will never be easy…
Success is not easy….
This is just the beginning…
Love chi
