Negative vibes are still vibrating around the cyber world against the
newly crowned Miss Uganda. Those saying Leah Kalanguka is an ugly
duckling, forget that the ugly duckling turned out to be the most
beautiful swan. Besides, the definition of beauty pegged on one's looks
is skewed. Our bodies are merely perishable shells that are dumped into
the grave to rot and feed the worms therein while our true beauty is the
soul that ascends to heaven to meet its Creator.
Before you
condemn her, get to know her personally; where she has been and what has
brought her this far. Judge her basing on the content of her heart.
Amen, somebody?
Moreover, outside beauty is fleeting. As the old, old men who were seeing their reflections in the water said wistfully, "All that's beautiful drifts away like the waters." They had been once exceedingly handsome but after age got them old and wrinkled, they learned that true beauty is what is on the inside. And what is on the inside of Kalanguka is confidence and intelligence that made her stand out. It defied the shady modern definition of beauty which flaunts the nudity-crazy; tall and self-starved girls.
The African queen with a full figure, melanin-filled lips and mighty hips is often demonised as fat and ugly. Imagine! Then there are these chemicals that they sell at the beauty parlour in the name of makeup. Man, beauty cannot be bought at the beauty mall. Then our girls are made to dress skimpily in the name of being "sexy." How absurd.
Listen and get a grip. Kalanguka was not chosen by fools. As Miss Uganda 2008 Dora Mwima put it, "Judging doesn't start on that final night. That's the reason those girls are kept in boot camp so that their character, morals and personalities are scrutinised."
The naysayers should get the point and leave our Miss Uganda alone. She was created by an intelligent designer—God—and therefore she's fearfully and wonderfully made. Her confidence and brains are earmarks of true beauty as she goes about fulfilling the theme of beauty with a purpose.
