Miss Black Canada Pageant
Ese Ero, top five at Miss Black World, Canada!
 This
year’s sixth Miss Black Canada pageant was held on Sunday 26th October in
Toronto. Over five hundred people gathered at the venue to witness the display
of beauty, talent and excellence of 26 contestants from across Canada. The
contestants were judged on their communication skills, talent, swimming costume
and evening wear.
Ese Ero, born in Nigeria and a resident of Vancouver, represented British
Columbia at the pageant. Several of the contestants had been in pageants before
but it was the first time for Ese. She dazzled the audience with her smile,
great personality, beauty, wit and talent. When she performed the “Tchologo”
dance from Ivory Coast, the audience starred in awe and amazement. She
captivated the audience and the judges. Ese made it to the top five finalists
and ended up as the third runner up for the crown.
 The
pageant has also gained much attention for its guest appearances. This year, two
renowned entertainers: James Avery and Freddie Jackson were the special guests.
James Avery, better known as “Uncle Phil” on Fresh Prince of Belair was one
of the five judges while Freddie Jackson’s voice added to the festivities of the
evening. Freddie sung five of his favorite romantic songs before the final count
down of the pageant.
Other special guests included the reigning queens for the Jamaica-Florida,
Miss Canada Plus, Miss Ghana, Miss Teen pageants and also the reigning King from
Mr. Caribbean Canada pageant.
 The
following businesses and individuals sponsored Ese Ero enabling her to represent
us: African Vibes, Abantu Beauty products, Amaguru African Hair Gallery, African
General Market, Edo Cultural Association of B.C., Good leg Shoes, Jokky’s Beauty
Supply, Masabo Cultural Company and Wale Lewis.
Ese Ero is a second year Sociology student at Douglas College. She has been
actively involved in the African and Caribbean Association in her school, has
been a Junior Black Achievement Award recipient and a performer with the Masabo
Cultural Company just to mention a few. She not only represented us well but is
a great role model for all the young black women in the province.
Clara and Marlene are national directors for the pageant and also on the hair
team.
