For 24-year-old Rosevelaryn Odile Everleilani Brown Fane, she is not afraid of stepping into the unknown, following her leap of faith into entrepreneurship.

The Vodafone Miss Samoa Contestant No. 4 is sponsored by Princess Mariana Publishing and she is an entrepreneur, having already obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree.

Giving background on herself and her business, Ms. Fane told the Samoa Observer that she runs a make-up business and had a lot of clients before she decided to get into the Miss Samoa Pageant. 

"I have a lot of clients, so I get busy," she said in an interview. "Diving into entrepreneurship took a leap of faith.

“And from that it has allowed me to immerse myself into a business mindset career, opening new doors and opportunities such as being of service in my community serving one Makeup Glam at a time in Melbourne, Australia.”

She said she is keen on encouraging young and all Pacific People to utilise their many talents and open their own businesses.

With the Miss Samoa Pageant finale four days away, Ms. Fane has got her eyes set on the crown and envisages her work also revolving around giving voice to the voiceless.

"I want to help the voiceless be heard, even I have had some traumatising experiences, so I want to encourage people to say no when they need to say no and yes when they need to say yes.

"I also want to encourage all Samoans, men and women to feel confident to speak to what they believe in.” 

Asked for her thoughts on why she thinks men are important, the entrepreneur said there has to be equality in society. 

"I include men as well because there is no equality if the men aren't included,” Ms. Fane reiterated. 

“I feel that we are all human and we all have our rights and a free world. To empower women we have to empower men too.” 

As to whether there is anyone she wanted to acknowledge in her life, she pointed to her older sister who was standing next to her.

"I want to acknowledge my sister Lupe and my team. I also want to acknowledge my team and anyone who has a good heart. 

“I want to encourage people to be kind. There is not enough kindness in the world and that's important. My sister has been helping me throughout the pageant.” 

The tragedy involving the death of her mother from cancer recently was also highlighted with Ms. Fane saying she died from leukaemia.

"My mother passed away from leukaemia, though she was a 10-year survivor of breast cancer," she said. 

"This also gives me a lot of strength. When my mum was going through chemo and her treatments, I asked her what she wanted to share with people who had the same suffering. 

“She said to train your mind to be strong because when that is done, you can face anything so I learned from that we have to look after our mental health as well as our physical and social health. 

“When we do that, we will be alright.”

Her father Robert Fane arrived in Samoa later on Monday. Ms. Fane is from the villages of Vaoala, Lotofaga and Lalovaea and was born in Samoa. Her family lives in Melbourne Australia with her father joining her team of supporters on Monday evening.

In terms of her passion, she listed performing arts, saying it was a connection to her roots starting from her young days.

"My passion for the performing arts has contributed the most to building a connection to my roots from a young age being heavily involved in celebrating the Pacific and Samoa, the heart of Polynesia," she said. 

Ms. Fane's topic for her pre-pageant interview this Thursday is climate change.
