The Mano River Entertainment Company would be hosting the maiden Miss Mano River Union Beauty Pageant in Sierra Leone. Doreen Archer-Campbell, a medical student at the College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences will be representing Sierra Leone. Miss Doreen was born and raised as the first child to her beloved parents Rev. Arnold Archer-Campbell and Mrs. Mariam Archer-Campbell an interior decorator.  At her early beginnings, she started her academic journey at Synbenclaire Nursery School and enrolled at the Cockeril Preparatory School till her National Primary School Examination where she performed excellently among her peers. She furthered her secondary schooling at the S.O.S Hermann Gmeiner School and Beacon High School. In March this year, Doreen Archer-Campbell was a contestant at Miss COMAHS. Growing up with her parents, she inherited the art of pageantry. Miss Doreen’s love for pageantry and fashion motivated her to establish her own brand called Doreen’s Archer Design. She is currently serving as the Chief Executive Officer of her brand. This Gem is also working assiduously on cervical cancer awareness, which has been one of the major challenges faced by the health sector. This will set the pace for her to establish her proposed Archer’s Cervical Cancer Foundation which will serve as a non-profitable organization.  When asked about why she opted to represent Sierra Leone in this year’s maiden edition of Miss MRU Beauty Pageant 2019, in her words, “I want to make my country Sierra Leone proud by putting it at the top among fellow MRU countries. Again, pageantry is my dream and thus, I am happy to be living the life of my dream. This is what I ever wanted.” Miss Doreen Archer-Campbell added that she will not be representing herself or her college but she will be flying the banner of Sierra Leone so high. “All I need at this moment is for my fellow Sierra Leoneans to give me their full support. It is our time to win, it is about time we are celebrated and the time is now. All I needed is everybody’s support.” Miss MRU -Sierra Leone representative said. The pageant is expected to be classical and breathtaking as it is going to be a combination of advocacy and promotion of tourism, cultural awareness of the people and the many unique traditions of the Union countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Cote D’Ivoire.  The pageant queen will become the ambassador of the Union promoting its awareness in the four countries.
