Miss Sahara is about building social cohesion within our communities and the wider Australian communities.

Sahara Collective is a flagship initiative of Lead Beyond Education that expands pathways to education, leadership, and opportunity for African-Australian young women across Australia. Miss Sahara is a National beauty pageant which celebrates the diversity of Women of African heritage in Australia, showcasing the diversity of African women and culture. Miss Sahara is underpinned by a participants ability to advocate and raise awareness of Africa’s diverse and rich cultures, allowing them to present themselves as ambassadors of success, thereby appealing to a broader Australian community. Miss Sahara facilitates personal growth and skill development to continually empower women to accomplish all their life goals and dreams

From Miss Sahara to Sahara Collective ✨

In this powerful conversation, our Founder, Dr Anyier Yuol, shares the vision behind the evolution of Miss Sahara into Sahara Collective.

More than a rebrand, this transformation represents a renewed mission. We are creating a platform that empowers, celebrates, and amplifies African Australian women, their voices, stories, and ambitions. We are creating opportunities to bring communities together through public showcases that celebrate their leadership, creativity, and contribution to Australia.

This is just the beginning. 🤎

We’re back—with a beautiful milestone to share.

After announcing a pause in 2024, we’ve quietly continued the work behind the scenes.

You may have seen some of our Miss Sahara ambassadors staying active—delivering workshops, leading community conversations, and representing through our charity, Lead Beyond Education.

Today, we’re proud to announce that Miss Sahara, a Lead Beyond Education initiative, has been nominated for the 2025 ZEST Awards for Outstanding Project – CALD Communities.

This recognition honours five years of impact—from empowering young African women to creating space for representation, community pride, and sisterhood across Australia.

It also celebrates the incredible volunteers, past winners, and supporters who have shared this journey with us.

To our queens and community, thank you. Let’s share it together.yuol

Thank you, Marie Claire Australia, for this beautiful article.
Over the past five years, Miss Sahara Pageant has advocated for young women to be better represented in the beauty and fashion industry. We hope our work will continue to influence the change that is needed. 👏🏿❤️

In the world of soulless beauty pageants, our homegrown Miss Sahara 2023 black-tie gala is a shining light of satin, sequins and empowerment for a new generation of trailblazing Australians.
