Early on this year, Betty Moyo won the title
Black Opal Face of Zimbabwe 2013. So as part of her prize, she went to the New
York for a week, and last Friday on the 30th of August, Black Opal
hosted a welcome back party for her in Masasa at Mabvazuva Village.
So the party was scheduled to start sometime
around 3pm, but you know Africans being Africans, people never arrive on time
hence, things never begin in time. What amused me the most was that the
organisers did not seem to mind at all. So as the guests trickled in,
refreshments were served, people mingled and photos were being taken – a sort
of “red carpet” kind of thing, really nice. And speaking of red, red was THE colour
on Friday. Everyone had something red going on, a handbag, heels, dress, jacket
– I even had a red shirt, lol.
The party finally officially began when Dee
Mutseyekwa gave us an overview of what Black Opal Face of Zimbabwe is all
about. Afterwards, Tatenda Mutseyekwa gave us the detail of what Black Opal
Face of Zimbabwe is all about. Apparently, one of the main reasons is so that
we have a local face being the brand face for the Zimbabwean market, giving
opportunity to all women to get in to the modelling business and achieve their ambitions.
After the speeches, Betty gave us a
testimony of her experience in the States. Among the so many activities she
did, she went to where Black Opal is manufactured, had a shopping spree, went
to Broadway, Times Square, the Empire State… Don’t you just want to be part of
Black Opal Face of Zim 2014? I know I do, you never know, this time one might
just get to spend a whole month in the States! J
Apparently Betty was just coming from high
school when she entered the contest. Having seen her in person, I liked Betty.
She is humble, sweet, bubbly, real and a total mama’s baby – the normal Zim
girl having an A list experience. Her mom was with her as well and we could
tell she gets her personality from her.
I totally loved the audience – we had a lot
of comic people it seemed. Then the audience was given time to ask Betty questions
and she answered them so well! True African Woman was especially proud of one
of the continent’s finest! In conclusion, she urged us ladies to put importance
on skin care so that with or without make up, our skin should be flawless and
beautiful. Black Opal could not have chosen a better ambassador for their
product. After that, it was more refreshments, music and mingling.
