The Be The Change Conference is a forum to address issues affecting African communities in the UK, to call the attention of the mainstream to these issues and profer solutions.
Topics such as "Are we British or African" "Immigration, Human rights and the Tax payer" and "Britain's Africa street kids" "African and gay" are all examples of topics we aregoing to be addressing.
Also an avenue to sensitize young people from the Black Minority ethnic communities to take up the mantle in engineering social Change for the benefit of BME communities.
The Miss Africa UK pageant Is a celebration of beautiful women of African descent living in the UK. The motive behind this pageant Is to encourage young women of dual nationality or mixed heritage to embrace their African heritage and cherish it despite the doom and gloom being broadcast about Africa.
The proceeds from this pageant and conference goes to Afristar foundation which is a charity set up to help African children with Autism and other learning disabilities. To create awareness, education and training to parents of sufferers but ultimately to set up special schools for these young people and care homes for Adult sufferers.
The Miss Africa UK winner will promote this course and travel around Europe and Africa to raise awareness and funds.
