Udukwu, first competed in and won the Miss Nigeria USA pageant. She is the current title holder of the Miss Africa USA pageant.
Frances
always had a connection to Nigeria, although she was raised in USA by
Nigerian parents. Her Nigerian parents weren’t so happy about her
pageant dreams at first but once she made them understand what she hoped
to do with it, they supported her.
The beauty queen
who majored in public health and health systems management in
university never wanted to be a beauty queen, rather, she admits she
“just fell into it.”
Frances,
who worked as a health consultant at the biggest federal consulting
firm in the DC area, will love to use the pageant platform to further
her humanitarian efforts for women, aged 18-35, with empowerment and
education.
In closing, the stunning beauty reveals
that in spite of her many inspirations in life, she wants to stay true
to herself. She also advises people to leave things in the past…”remain
the best versions of yourself in this new year and do not let fear be a
factor”.
