Sometimes it takes courage to
go that extra mile for
something you love. But Sandra
Okon Bassey decided to do just
that. About a year ago, this beautiful
damsel hit the runaway industry
in a spectacular way when she
emerged the winner of the
prestigious Miss Niger Delta
pageant to set a new record for herself. But interestingly, modelling is
not the only good thing
Sandra is known for. She is also
an actress of great repute, and
a student in her own right. In
fact, she had to combine her studies with her passion to
become a role model for young
women, a win she dedicated to
her fans and family. *Sandra As Miss Niger Delta(Symbol of
Talent), Sandra, who hails from
Akwa- Ibom State, described
her reign as one characterised
by “the good, the bad and the
ugly,” adding, “It was also stressful sometimes.” While her reign lasted, Sandra
touched so many lives through
her pet projects such as
‘Catch them Young’, a talent
hunt show as well as her
community-based project which was targeted at the widows
and the less-privileged children
in the Niger Delta region. “Apart from the love I have for
modelling,the other reason I
ventured into the industry was
to have a good platform to
launch my acting career. I’m
quite new in the industry but so far, it’s been fun all the
way. I did my first movie
sometime late last year, an
indigenous movie which is meant
for the international
audience,” Sandra stressed. Besides being a student of the
University of Calabar, where
she’s studying Education
Biology, the ex-beauty queen is
also a Computer Science
student of Cross River State University of Science and
Technology. Sandra says she
has an undying desire to hit
the hall of fame before her
graduation from the university. More gist @ www.aliozor..com
