“People still don’t understand how I felt. There were times when I almost quit during the Miss Universe contest. I’m really done with pageantry. I want to focus on myself and establish who I am. And forward my education as well.”
After finishing as 1st runner-up at the Miss Universe competition, I Adetshina was named Miss Universe Africa and Oceania.
