Pageantry with purpose.
Represent Eritrea with confidence and use public attention to bring disability inclusion into a wider cultural conversation.
See the pageant journeySnit Habteab uses the reach of pageantry to open bigger conversations about disability inclusion—and to help design learning environments where every child has a genuine way forward.
“The crown draws attention. What matters is where we direct that attention.”
