Meanwhile, Miss Grand Brazil 2015, Paula Gomes tried to compare the women in Brazil, Indonesia and Cameroon and their beauty regimens: "In Brazil, women love the body healthy fitness. The Indonesian loves her natural beauty and what I see here in Cameroon, the African woman loves to make up and prepare their hair. I like these… For me the African skin is very beautiful."

Speaking about how our cultures could influence our communities, Wanry Wabang  from the Indonesian  Embassy in Abuja told us: "It doesn’t matter where you are from so long as you have the earth, the motivation and the positivity to contribute more to what's happening around you .. cultural product is just one of so many contributions you can give to the society."
