Rehema Muthamia’s statement

“The best moment of my life so far ✨ It’s all been so surreal, from the moment my name was called as Miss England 2021, till now.
Knowing that for for the first time in Miss England history, the judges decision on the winner was unanimous, is just the icing on the cake! It was such a privilege to be crowned by @bhashamukherjee, Miss England’s longest reigning queen!
Now the countdown to the 70th Miss World begins!” wrote Rehema Muthamia.

Away from the Miss England tittle, Muthamia had also won the first ever Miss All African Colours contest.
“I would have to say that the most difficult experience that I’ve had in life is having gone through an abusive relationship and it’s not something that people speak about often.
Knowing that I was able to come through that experience, learn more about myself and my worth, who I am as a woman and be able to now use this platform in Miss England to help other women is amazing” said Miss England Rehema Muthamia.
