After working her way through Cornell University College of Human Ecology and majoring in textiles and apparel design, and announced the winner of 2005 Heermans-McCalmon one-set playing contest for her manuscript Vivian X, at Cornell, multi-talented 24-year-old Esosa Edosomwan took her talent to another level. The actress/writer/director with a post-graduate degree in business from Columbia University is not taking any chances and has entered her bid for the Miss Africa USA 2008 contest scheduled to be held on November 1, 2008 at the Clayton County Performing Arts Center in Jonesboro, Georgia.So far, the delegates have been made known and hopefully the casting crew and organizers in this year's glamorous Miss Africa USA would be able to go places and collect series of endorsements from high profile designers and top-notch fashion magazines.
It would be indeed welcoming to see African models display their physique on the runways of notable fashion designers, and what that means is that, the organizers of the show should start moving beyond community service and outreach programs in order to lift the models to newer heights for universal coverage.
For Esosa, she has all it takes to be crowned Miss Africa USA. With her academic credentials, dedication, physique and hardwork, she is worthy. On October 10, 2008, she will be joining 'Words of Choice', a non profit theatre group in a performance at Fort Hays State University, KS, 'as a benefit in remembrance of Jana Mackey, a young activist who was murdered earlier this year.' Her resume speaks for itself.
Go Africa Go!
