BOSTON--11 year old Winnie Muiru, a Kenyan American 6th grader from Worcester has won the Massachusetts Pre-Teen Beauty contest, and is now advancing for the Miss USA contest to be held at the rosen Center Hotel in Orlando,Florida later this year.
If Winnie wins the national contest, will scoop $7,500 in cash scholarship award in addition a one week cruise to a special destination of choice, not counting the doors that will be unlocked in the media and advertising industry.
"This is absolutely shocking to me. I never in my life thought that my daughter would win something of this nature especially here in the US where there are many more deserving girls," said Grace Muiru Winnie's mother during an interview with AjabuAfrica.
According to Muiru, a single mother of one, the opportunity that saw her daughter suddenly enter to compete, and eventually win  in the Miss Massachusetts contest came by plain luck.
She said that an invitation letter sent to many girls of her daughter's age in the area to go and try their luck had been lying on her kitchen table unopened for more than a month.
But in what sounded like an unbelievable twist of luck,Muiru came home bone tired one day at around 11.30 pm and just slumped on the couch nearby.
