    What have you learned from the COVID pandemic?”

    She answered,

    I have learned from the COVID pandemic that we can always try harder to be better, to improve life. During the COVID pandemic, I think we all went through a lot, but I think the most important was to try to push through and to always try to find a solution because I believe, in life, it’s not about falling but every time you fall, to be able to get back up.”

  • Olivia was the only African model to reach the top 6 of the Miss World 2021.

    I place my mandate under the seal of the valorization of black skin. It hurts my heart to see young black, African girls whitening their skin. But I don’t judge them! It’s not their fault, it’s a social problem, a fashion phenomenon that they feel obliged to follow. Because we give the impression that light skin is more beautiful than black skin. By valuing the black complexion, we hope to contribute to instilling values ​​as important as respect and pride in our identity while raising awareness of the dangers to which these women expose themselves by resorting to depigmentation.”
