PHOTO OP: Victoria Njau, Kenya's Rising Star

Victoria Njau was born in Kenya 23 years ago and has a double major -- Biology and Business Management -- at the University of Texas in Dallas and aspires to enlist in medical school when she gets over her first degree.

She has submitted her bid for the 4th Annual Miss Africa USA Pageant 2008 which will be held at the Clayton County Performing Arts Center in Jonesboro, Georgia on Saturday, November 1, 2008. Njau said as the new Miss Kenya her 'desire' would be focussed on the Kenyan community in the United States and in the event she is crowned Miss Africa USA 2008, that she will "seek more sponsorship and support to continue making positive changes in the lives of Africans."

You go girl, and goodluck!
