This, in fact, is not the first time that Safiétou has taken a stand – in some way – on the importance of beauty contests having representation of black women with short or bald hair.
“I want to show that a black woman with short hair is as legitimate in the representation of Normanda as a blonde with blue eyes. I am Senegalese-Congolese and of Norman origin. It’s a whole. I have a multiple identity,” he said in an interview.
