The grand finale of the Miss E.B.O.N.Y Ambassador Innovative Pageant be held on April 10, 2026, at the Swiss International Vistana Hotel, Victoria Garden City, Lekki, Lagos.
The pageant, organized by Ebony Ambassadors UK, is aimed at providing a platform for young African women to showcase their talents, develop leadership capacity and promote African cultural heritage.
Founder of the initiative and Chief Executive Officer of Ebony Ambassadors, Irene Eribo Ani, said the platform was established to provide young women with opportunities to build confidence, acquire practical skills and embrace cultural identity while preparing them for leadership roles in their communities.
“Aside empowering the ladies, we aim to provide them with practical skills, leadership opportunities and a strong sense of cultural pride that will help them succeed in their communities and careers,” Ani said.
The pageant, which was first launched in London in 2016, has since evolved into a broader empowerment initiative featuring workshops, cultural exhibitions and annual grand finales that connect participants, mentors and community stakeholders across the United Kingdom and Africa.
The evening is expected to climax with the crowning of winners during the grand finale and awards ceremony, where individuals contributing to youth empowerment will also be recognised with honours such as the Ebony Ambassador Africa Youth Empowerment Award.
