Melissa Nayimuli, South Africa's representative at the Miss Universe pageant, began her journey with a culturally rich send-off celebration themed 'African Royalty.' Reflecting on her humble beginnings in the Eastern Cape, she credited her upbringing for teaching her to dream big. Nayimuli, with a Xhosa mother and Ugandan father, emphasized the importance of embracing one's culture.
