She currently resides and works in Ottawa in Executive Leadership Development.

At age 11, along with millions of other people, Solange and her family became refugees due to the civil war and genocide in Rwanda. Living in tents and surviving with the minimum, Solange had to mature fast, and as the eldest child, she had the responsibility of taking care of her siblings. Her experience of being a refugee, dealing with the effects of war and poverty, has allowed her to appreciate every opportunity and be even more proud to be Canadian.

Solange has been nominated UNICEF’s 2010 Official Spokes Person for Walk for Water. In hope to become Miss Universe Canada, Solange would like to continue sharing her life experience with the objective to encourage fundraising efforts, to educate and engage Canadians in missions seeking to give every child change and opportunity in life to survive and thrive. In the future Solange hopes to be UN’s Goodwill Ambassador for children’s wellbeing and education.

In hope to represent Canada at the Miss Universe Pageant, Solange brings modeling and pageant experience into this competition. She was chosen to represent Canada at the Miss International pageant in the US, she won the title of Miss Canada International 2006, and she was the LUSH Model winner during the 2009 UJENA JAM swimwear competition in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Solange enjoys music, playing soccer, cooking and modeling. Her philosophy in life is to never be afraid of dreaming, even when it feels and appears impossible.
