A dream has become a reality for local woman Monika Pawlak, who has made it to through to the UK final of Ms Earth. Monika will be representing Birmingham in the national finals and if successful will head off to the international of Face Of The World, hosted in England to compete for the ultimate title this December representing England. Face Of The World started in 2012 and I hope to be that lucky lady chosen to be England’s 7th representative to the international final.

Monika, who is a director and owner of a procurement and supply chain consultancy company will help promote and attend personal appearances in Birmingham to promote the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and Environmental campaigns across the UK, participating voluntary in activities with an environmental theme such as beach clean-ups, awareness raising campaigns and street litter pickups supporting the platform of Beauties For A Cause.

She said,“It’s my dream to win the national title of Ms/Mrs Earth UK 2018 because it’s unique in terms of beauty pageants as it has a positive message of promoting environmental awareness across the world. It has a gorgeous powerful message and being given the opportunity to compete in such a prestigious competition at my age is a fantastic achievement and blessing.”

Monika added that she entered because many people admire and aspire to be a beauty queen, adding, “I have gained so much confidence already through being selected to represent Birmingham,” and has the full backing of her family and friends, who believe beauty queens are a good and effective advocate of worthy causes and bring a new meaning to light the conscious effort of promoting a clean environment and a healthy lifestyle.

A British Wheel of Yoga Diploma-qualified Yoga teacher, as part of her appearance in the Birmingham area as an ambassador to Beauties for a Cause UK, Minoka will be teaching a charity yoga class with trees, all proceeds donated to the Woodland Trust charity.
