This reporter conducted an interview with the beauty queen to find out more about who she is and her aspirations on her new role as a queen.
Nunn revealed that she was a Sunday school teacher because she enjoyed the company of children and helping in broadening their minds with the right knowledge
“Throughout my reign, I aim to work and collaborate with organisations that advocate for the safety and human rights of children. They need to be protected because they are the future of the country,” said Nunn.
The reigning queen said that she was born and raised in Manzini and attended her high school at St Michaels.
“After high school, I enrolled at EPT Aviation Training and successfully completed my cabin crew course. However, due to being unable to secure a job, I started learning beauty skills and I now run my own beauty business called ‘Barniana Faces’.
“Through this business, I have been able to assist others with life skills and also give them a tool to help them to be self-sustainable,” said Nunn.
“I am really excited to have been chosen to represent Eswatini and I cannot wait to spread positivity and assist where I can, especially on issues we all face as a country. This includes mental health issues which desperately deserves advocacy,” said Miss Eswatini.
The beauty queen further mentioned the competition helped her learn more about diversity which was what made them strong individually and as a whole.
“Being surrounded by my pageant sisters, who were all amazing queens and all possessed phenomenal traits that I absorbed, made me realise that our diversity makes us stronger when we are united by a common goal,” said Nunn.
The pageant taught me that the greatest beauty one could ever possess is that of your personal character.
“People should seek internal validation not external validation. It is also important to create an unshakable bond with God, He will guide you through everything because you are worthy,” said Miss Eswatini.
