Miss World Rwanda 2021 Grace Ingabire has impressed the panel during the head to head challenge stage of the ongoing Miss World 2021 as she continues to push her bid to win the world’s most prestigious crown.

The head to head challenge was created in 2017 as an occasion for contestants to share what they achieved during their reign in their respective countries and their ambitions in the community world at large.

The challenge was hosted by Puerto Rican musician and Miss World 2016, Stephanie Del Valle, and reigning Miss World 2019, Tonni Ann Singh, who ensured the contestants felt at ease when answering their questions.

All the contestants are separated in 16 groups and the winner of the head to head challenge from each group is decided by the public through online voting via missworld.com, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well Mobstar.

Ingabire is group 13 dubbed ‘Green Team’ alongside Miss World Ireland, Colombia, Belgium, Finland and Curacao.

 Ingabire was the first to be involved in the conversation during which she presented her project that summarizes the activities she has done so far during her reign.

The activities range from bringing on board life-changing initiatives that can positively impact the community.

Passionate about dance, Ingabire believes arts can bring a positive change to the world and has, as a result, expressed her commitment, through her project ‘Ikiringo’ to inspire the young generation to use dance as an innovative way to contribute to finding solutions to some of the challenges facing Rwanda and the world at large.

The project earned her the Miss Rwanda 2021 crown and the beauty believes the same, among a range of other initiatives that she raised, can happen at Miss World should the world show support to her project.

Asked what she can offer to bring a positive change to the global community, an optimistic Ingabire said, "I have so many things that I want to change in the world and one of them is using dance and theatre, telling stories and exploring issues using arts because arts basically reach where politics cannot,” she said.

"I am also concerned about education, especially inclusive education. Sometimes when we talk about inclusive education, people think about maybe incorporating a system that favors people with disabilities to make sure that education is inclusive,” she further explained.

Ingabire, 26, is the fifth Rwandan beauty queen to participate in the world’s most prestigious beauty contest after Jolly Mutesi, Elsa Iradukunda, Liliane Iradukunda and Meghan Nimwiza.

She was crowned Miss Rwanda 2021 in March, beating first and second runners-up Amanda Akaliza and Witness Umutoni respectively to the crown.
