Bryoni Govender

I decided to enter Miss South Africa 2023 because I am confident and ready to become a champion for women empowerment. I want to exemplify the notion that ‘empowered women empower women’ by using my voice and lived experience of never giving up on my dreams and refusing to allow others to narrate my story.

L'Oréal boosts my confidence, makes my first impression a lasting one, and gives me the radiance and glow so I can shine from inside and out because I’m worth it.

The effect of negative social networking, which is limiting their ability to finding their true identity and purpose, making them vulnerable to an array of issues, most typically mental stress.

Who are your local and international female role models and why?
3
Local female role model is Anele Mdoda because she lives loud and proud and is unapologetically herself. International female role model is Angelina Jolie, because not only is she brilliant at her job, but she uses every opportunity to speak up and fight for female empowerment.

What is your message to young girls and young women in South Africa?
4
Never give up on yourself. Always follow your dreams because your dreams are valid. You will meet many people in life that will always have an opinion on how you should live but never allow this to narrate your own story and determine your destination. Don’t be afraid to seek counsel from those closest to you because together we can stand stronger.
