Precious Okon is the reigning beauty queen of the Miss Museum Tourism pageant 2010/2011. The Akwa Ibom State damsel spoke about her style and varied issues with us.
Tell us about yourself?
I am from Akwa Ibom State, Ikotubo town; the third in a family of seven. I am a 200-level Public Administration undergraduate of Lagos State University (LASU).
What is the pageant all about?
Miss Museum Tourism is all about promoting African culture. As you know, Museum is a form of culture, so it is to project our culture and break the societal apathy about the museum. It is about bringing tourism into the museum. The pageant was done by the National Museum, Onikan, Lagos.
How was your growing up like?
It was fantastic. While growing up, we thought my mother was wicked because of the kind of discipline she instilled in us, but today I know better. All she did was to make us better in future. The growing up experience makes it fantastic.
As a beauty queen, what is style to you?
To me it’s what makes you comfortable and also stands you out.
Define your own kind of style
My style is simple and African. I love simple styles designed with African fabrics.
How do you love to carry your hair?
My hair is very important to me. I can carry it in any way that suits me bearing in mind that a woman’s hair is her crowning glory. The way you carry your hair gives your face a different look, it makes you look gorgeous and beautiful. It is the hair that actually makes a woman and that is why it must always be neatly done.
What’s your best colour?
I love purple because it depicts royalty.
Your best perfume
I use any perfume that has a nice and fantastic fragrance.
What kind of shoes do you love to wear?

My role models are Onyeka Onwenu, Dora Akunyili and Emelda Osuji, also known as Madam Modesty. These women are disciplined, firm, gorgeous and also they promote African culture
Describe yourself in three words
Simple, loving and gorgeous.
