From her strong take against GBV ,Diana Michira's win in this contest was inevitable.

It's common and wide spread problem starting on the basis of gender and sex that result to physical , sexual and psychological torture. GBV can be stopped if we  educate everyone from the young to the eldest, make them understand there worth and rights and equality spread love amongst each other.

The Nairobi-born model first moved to Eldoret in the Year 2001 where she got to attend her Primary Education at Sosiani Primary School,before Joining Kerotet Girls High School in Ziwa.

She got pregnant while in campus, and as she narrates it, getting pregnant in Campus was her biggest Set back as a model.

"I was scared and did not know anyone in campus. My parents only came to know of my pregnancy after i gave birtt and this was through one of my  friends. At this point i had completed my finale exams.On the next semester,an opportunity was presented and i had to contest for Miss Jaramogi Title,that was in my second year,but here i did not win any Title. I also tried to contest for Miss Jaramogi on my 3rd year, but also lost. I did not give up, and on the 4th year i became Miss Jaramogi University, First Runners-Up." Diana Michira.

Diana Michira went ahead to explain that her life after campus took on a different course and it was during this tough times that one of her friend came across the "Mrs. Universe Kenya" Pageant poster, presented it to her and without hesitation she joined the contest, only to represent Uasin Gishu at the pageant.

Comparing the event's experience to Eldoret pageants, here is what the model had to say;

 'In Eldoret there are lots of opportunities and Events, but Eldoret event's organizer's are more focused on making money, selling tickets more than the course. Eldoret has talent, but full of misinformed event organizers'
