MISS GRAND INTERNATIONAL 2024

THE 3rd RUNNER UP
MISS GRAND INTERNATIONAL 2024
Safiétou Kabengele

I’m Safiétou Kabengele, Miss Grand France 2024. I was born in Dakar, Senegal, and raised in Normandy, France, from infancy. My journey is a blend of cultural influences that have shaped my vision of the world and my personality, allowing me to navigate different environments with confidence and pride.

From a young age, I was passionate about the art of expression, fashion, dance, public speaking, anything that allowed me to convey emotions and embody presence.
However, entering the pageant world was never an obvious choice for me. At a time when I still lacked self-confidence, it was my family and loved ones who saw my potential before I did.
They believed I had a stage to take, a voice to share, and a story to tell.

Being bold and always ready for a challenge, I embraced this opportunity. However, my journey in pageantry has been a story of resilience and perseverance.
Before winning Miss Grand France 2024,
I competed in Miss Normandie for Miss France, placing 2nd runner-up in 2021 and 1st runner-up in 2022.

These experiences taught me discipline, stage presence, and the power of determination. After two attempts, I decided to try again this time with Miss Grand France. It was my third time competing in a major pageant, and it turned out to be the right one. This victory was not just mine , it was a win for the community that believed in me, supported me, and pushed me to go further.

At the same time, I always wanted to be hybrid, balancing both structure and creativity. That’s why, before fully committing to my role as Miss, I worked as an Export Coordinator, a position that helped me develop organization, management, and strategic skills : valuable tools that now allow me to balance my ambitions efficiently.

Today, I stand as proof that a woman can be versatile, bold, and multifaceted : excelling in different fields without limiting herself to just one path.
