Born in the Hagadera refugee camp in Kenya, Khadija’s journey from a refugee to an international beauty pageant contestant is nothing short of extraordinary. She is also the first-ever Miss Universe Somalia to compete at this level, setting a new milestone for the nation. In 2010, Khadija and her family moved to Canada, a turning point that significantly shaped her path. Growing up in a new country allowed her to embrace her Somali roots while navigating the opportunities and challenges of a different cultural environment. This background has deeply influenced her passion for representing not only Somali women but Muslim women on a global stage, where diversity and inclusion in beauty standards are still evolving.
