kosovar Mejreme Hajdaraj was crowned Miss Elite, in an unforgettable beauty pageant in Egypt last year.
Sada el Balad English (See), in collaboration with Fashion Journalist Ahmed Adel, conducted an exclusive interview with the beauty queen to get to know more about her dreams, successes, and beauty secrets, which got her chosen from among 40 other contestants.
Tell me about you goals in your life?
My journey wasn't easy ... I dreamed about representing myself and my country, I visualized myself in big stages filled with beauty pageants. I saw myself working hard and sometimes wanted to give up.
Life is easy only if you live in your comfort zone and I wanted to live outside of it, to show my insecurities, my fears and my imperfections without being scared to be judged.
I wanted to let people see my inner beauty and also be appreciated for my personality. Here I am holding the crown I always wanted and appreciating myself for not giving up.
My goal is to become a role model for every young beauty queen, and assure her not to give up, and to work hard until her dreams come true.
A winner is a dreamer who never gives up
With work, dedication and discipline you can overcome any limit because the limit only exists in your mind. When you want to give up that's exact moment that you are one step away from success, and a winner is a dreamer who never gives up.
When did you start your career as a TV presenter?
I started my career as a TV presenter after winning Miss Elite, they called me as a guest to talk more about Miss Elite and all the experiences I had. during the competition. Then they offered me a summer show and I was happy to do something new and hosting was also one of my dreams, so i accepted the offer.
I am also working on a project as a fashion ambassador to my country Kosovo.
What is the most beautiful gift you got?
I think material gifts comes and goes the real gifts that I received was hugs, smiley faces and amazing wishes.
The last question, Tell me about you make up and your hairstyle ?
I have my personal makeup and hair artist, Dion Makolli, and every time we want to do a different style, when we have a designer shoot, we use some natural colors that match with all colors so that it suits every dress.
