Christelle Lohembe, a senior criminal justice major at Fayetteville State University (FSU), will be participating in the Miss Earth Pageant in Vienna, Austria in December. Lohembe will represent her native country, the Democratic Republic of Congo. She will depart for Austria on November 18, with the contest finals taking place Dec. 5.

The Miss Earth Pageant is an international environment contest that uses pageants as a tool to promote environmental awareness. Additionally, the pageant aims to showcase and promote various tourist destinations.

“I am very excited to be able to compete in this pageant,” Lohembe said. “It has been a dream of mine since I was age 5 to be an ambassador and a role model for this cause and for young women. I am very excited to be representing my country and my university.”

Pageant fans can vote for Lohembe during the online voting that starts Nov. 5, 2015. There will be two online contests – Miss Photogenic Beauty for a Cause and Miss Environmental Beauty for a Cause – Eco Video. To vote for Lohembe, go to:
