Sight-seeing in Toronto

Hi everyone:

I was away in Toronto, Ontario last week and would like to share some highlights with you! I went there to participate in the first-ever Black Canadian Awards 2014 as a Beauty Pageant Contestant representing Saskatoon! Check out all of the night's activities on my Official Contestant Website and Facebook fan pages!!!

In between my pageant activities, I was able to tour around Toronto with friends, view below:

The beautiful Eaton Centre #shopaholicsparadise with a lovely display of Canada geese!

After one of our famous shopping marathons, we settled on dinner at the "Amsterdam Brewhouse" by the Harbour facing Lake Ontario:

 Did some beer sampling with our meals:

My favourite was the very first glass on the far left called the "Big Wheel":

Another day, I spent touring around downtown Toronto and passed by The Distillery (Historical District) courtyard, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Building using the Toronto streetcars as my major use of transport throughout the trip!

The CN Tower tour was so much fun as well!!!

Oh Toronto what a slice it has been, I may come back again when my bank account gets replenished!!!

Lady J = Beauty Queen?

Yes, you read it right!!!

During the summer, I found out about the "Black Canadian Queen" Beauty Pageant through my LinkedIn account and decided to throw in my application #yolomaybe, and have now found out I will be the National Contestant for Saskatoon, SK my home city!

This pageant is an event hosted by the Black Canadians Media Group through the Diversity Advancement Network, and I'll compete on June 6th & & 7th in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I'm too excited!!! *eekkk*

Also it's not your ordinary beauty pageant, but rather a cultural and achievements-based event along with main values of bringing awareness of social issues affecting regional and international Black communities and positive media representation.

But of course I need your help, in the form of moral support, creative feedback as well as sponsorship opportunities to gain funding to compete effectively. Please click the image below to "Like" my Contestant Facebook Fan Page!

And also check out my Official Contestant Page to stay up to date with my incredible journey!

Thanks in advance,

Josephine Mensah, Your Black Canadian Queen 2014
