Randi Winter/The P2P Life & Luxe Beat Magazine, recently (May 8) interviewed local Canadian Model, Nova Stevens, in an article: Miss Universe Canada 2020 and Canada's Representative to the Miss Universe Competition. Nova is introduced by Randi: "Nova Stevens, Miss Universe Canada 2020's journey from refugee to model, actress, social activist, author and now to the Miss Universe stage representing her adopted country of Canada and first woman of South Sudanese descent, is truly inspirational. She is Canada's second black Miss Universe in 68 years. The 2019 winner, Zozibini Tunzi inspired her to enter Miss Universe Canada again, seeing someone who reflected her reality. Her charity, GO SuperNova and her We'R One Project recently took Nova to Ethiopia to reunite with her family, separated by war, after 21 years. Her next stop was South Sudan to meet heads of state bringing over 10,000 COVID-19 and HIV tests, promising more tests and to screen over 20 prevalent diseases.

Nova is a co-author in Pursuit:365 and co-founded the Juneteenth and Freedom and Rights Marches in Vancouver. These were powerful but peaceful, safe with tens of thousands attending. They were instrumental in getting Emancipation Day, August 1st declared in Vancouver in 2020 and this year, recognized federally. Nova's future plans include more humanitarian and civil rights causes and a future in political office. Randi guested on Olio by Marilyn and you can read about the many reasons why Nova is so very well qualified and so deserving of our votes by May 15th, this Saturday. To vote for Nova Stevens, go to missuniverse.com or Vote.missuniverse.com and watch May 16th the finale from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida."
Nova is well known here, for her work with Designers and Artists. She truly commands the runway and is in high demand for her work ethic, people skills and dynamic self expression. She says: "I can't deny my passion for fashion. Fashion, has always been a huge part of my life. Whether it's being on the runway, playing dress-up for photoshoots or using it as a tool to express my individuality. One of my favorite quotes by the one and only Coco Chanel "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening" this to me, sums up what fashion represents."
Artist, Writer and Photographer Nina Pak shows Nova's expertise, on her website. To quote Nina "this was a collaboration with the designers Lillian Makweja O'Brien and jewelry designer Carolyn Bruce. I love working with Nova; she is very professional and very kind. We had a lot of fun!"
