Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Miss Lesotho 2021, Tiisetso Seliane, wants to continue with pageantry but as a mentor to young aspiring girls. She says she also looks up to Miss Lesotho 2017, Mpoi Mahao \u201cWhen I was crowned Miss Lesotho 2021, I honestly could not believe it.<\/p>\n

I was happy to know that I finally got the opportunity to serve my country as Miss Lesotho\u201d she says \u201cI have learned to trust my inner voice more. I have always wanted to participate in pageants but I always postponed because I never believed I could actually do it.<\/p>\n

My self-esteem and confidence as well as team work skills have improved. Being Miss Lesotho means I am going to have to work with other people in order for me to achieve my goals,\u201d she continues. Tiisetso would like to continue with pageantry but as a mentor for others.<\/p>\n

She would like to see other young women grow into best version of themselves and also present them with the opportunity to stand for a course that helps them give back to their communities and country as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look up to the likes of Miss Lesotho 2017, Mpoi Mahao. She is a beautiful soul.<\/p>\n

I was fortunate enough to work with her a few years back while mentoring Miss NUL 2019\/2020 contents and I would feel honoured if I got to work her again.<\/p>\n

I feel like there is so much I could learn from her. I am also very fortunate to already work so closely with Miss Molulela Monyane who is our Director at Miss Lesotho.<\/p>\n

I love her \u2018go for what you believe in\u2019 spirit and from my interactions with so far I can tell there is a lot I can learn from someone as strong and smart as her,\u201d she says. She also has a project lined up, which she hopes to run before the end of June 2021.<\/p>\n

Tiisetso Seliane, aged 23 and from Hlotse, in the Leribe district attended school at Leribe English Medium Primary school from 2003 to 2010, moved to MJ Mohlahli Comm-Tech in Ficksburg, South Africa, where she studied from 2011 to2014 and then Molapo High school from 2015 to 2016.<\/p>\n

She is currently a pupil at the National University of Lesotho (NUL) doing her final year of BA in Education. \u201cPageantry won my heart as early as Grade1 but I never got participate in pageants until early 2017 where I modelled for a local charity group called Action Against Squalor to raise funds.<\/p>\n

The person who introduced me to pageantry was an old childhood friend of mine, Teboho Mahloane. Her sassy attitude and confidence from as young as seven made feel like as a girl I am allowed to be smart, beautiful and confident all at the same time,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She started modelling professionally in 2018. Her first big break was when she joined the Miss NUL 2018\/19 pageant where she made it to the top 3 as the 1st runner-up. She says her achievements so far include coaching\/mentoring other aspiring beauty queens.<\/p>\n
