Divas of colour International women’s day 2015 receives yet another boost with a major sponsorship from AfroDeity Ltd.
Faustina Anyanwu the founder says, “again, we’re very much delighted and encouraged by this sponsorship from one of our first exhibitors on Divas of colour’s first outing. Seeing a brand that was launched on our platform grow this big and coming for the second time to be a part of the event is a great boost. It goes to say what we’re doing is viable and a welcomed initiative. I’m exceptionally thankful and excited at the same time to have AfroDeity especially the CEO Alicia, a very beautiful woman heart and soul. Divas of colour is all about discovering the best of women of colour and in just 2 editions, we’re beginning to make the right marks.
In the deal, AfroDeity has promised to give sponsorship directly to the Diva Face (Pageant) category of the event. Giving a one year brand ambassador deal to the Diva face winner. Diva face pageant is a different approach to helping young women of colour to begin to love themselves as they are. On Diva Face, it’s not only looking for a beautiful face, rather, the competition is looking for strong, talented, focused and young women with vision that will be worthy to represent the woman of colour on any stage in the world. It goes beyond physical beauty. AfroDeity will not only provide cash prize for the winner, but will also support the runner ups with product giveaways.
“I’m particularly excited for the models and young women who will be taking part on this second edition come March 2015. They thoroughly have so much in stock for them.” – Georgia , Event manager.
