International Junior Miss was created to encourage positive achievement by helping to build self-awareness in our youth and young woman of today and it is open to girls aged 4yrs to 24yrs. IJM is “The crown of opportunities”.
My name is Phagamiso Napo, commonly called Miso. I’m 8 years old living in the platinum city of Burgersfort, Limpopo. I was born between two brothers, who are my everyday playmates. I started my modelling journey at the age of 3 and haven’t looked back since then. In the last 5 years I’ve been in a lot of pageants and in 2024 I decided to start doing work as a brand ambassador and a catwalk model. I have walked for Fashion Without Borders; Soweto Fashion Week and Miss Global Princess South Africa Fashion Show. The brands that I have worked with includes Enhle Babes Couture, Camsole, Myesha-K, House of Solani and Khanya Vision Studio. I’m also currently brand ambassador for UD Fashion House. My life motto is inspired by Queen Esther: “I was born for such a time as this.” Luckily I’m surrounded by people who inspire me to dream big and make a di erence. Especially by strong women who lead with purpose. When I grow up I want to be a doctor and Miss Universe. This is so I can be able to influence people and make a di erence in their lives. I do charity work through donations to local schools as well as reading to little ones at crèche’s, which I enjoy. In my spare time I enjoy dancing, singing, reading, public speaking and playing netball. I might not be the best dancer or singer but it relaxes me and gives me such joy.
