Miss Bird of Paradise Central Province - Miss Rigo 2025

✨ Seasons Greetings 2025 ✨

As we move into a new season and a new year, I just want to send a little love your way 💜

This time of year can be beautiful, but it can also feel heavy, and that’s okay.

Please remember to check in with yourself and with your friends. Your mental health matters. Rest when you need to, reach out when things feel tough, and be gentle with your heart. You don’t have to have everything figured out to be worthy of care and kindness.

Wishing you a season filled with peace, love, and moments that remind you that you are not alone. Let’s continue to look out for one another and lead with compassion in 2026.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2026.

With love,
Miss Rigo 2025💜✨

Thank you Mr. O'Sullivan for featuring Miss Rigo in the KoroBoro Informer article.💯

🌍 World Mental Health Day | 10 October 2025 🌍

To anyone who is struggling quietly, feeling like no one understands, please hear this: It’s okay to not be okay and it’s more than okay to reach out. You don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Life can be incredibly hard, especially when disaster, conflict or loss shakes everything around us. It’s normal to feel lost, scared or overwhelmed. But remember, your pain is real, your feelings are valid and your story matters.

You are brave for surviving this far and even braver when you choose to speak your truth. There is strength in asking for help, people want to listen, to hold space for you and to walk alongside you in your healing.

On this World Mental Health Day, I want you to know that you are seen. You are heard and most importantly, you are never alone.

Reach out, share your feelings, and let others support you. Together, we can build a world where mental health is met with kindness, understanding and hope. 💙

You are worthy of love, care and healing.

A Night To Remember✨

This journey in the Miss Bird of Paradise Central Province Pageant has been such a blessing. To be awarded Topic Presentation, Miss Humanitarian, and 1st Runner Up for Miss Bird of Paradise Central Province 2025 is something I am truly humbled and proud of. These achievements remind me that the crown is not just about results, but about the impact we make along the way, especially in inspiring young women to embrace their voices, their strength, and their purpose. 🌸💜🤩

I want to sincerely thank my partner and his team, Sphere Digital💜, for their media support and for always stepping in when I needed it most. To my siblings and my Saroa cousins, the Kekebogi’s and Mairi’s💜, thank you for staying up through those late nights and long days to help me prepare before and even on the night. I am forever grateful. And to my parents, friends, and extended family💜, your love and encouragement have carried me throughout this journey.

I’m walking away from this experience with pride in my heart, knowing I gave it my all. More than anything, I hope my journey shows other young women that they, too, can dream boldly, face challenges with courage, and create change that truly matters. 💜✨☺️
