Book Summary

​

When Naomie Nishimwe was crowned Miss Rwanda, the spotlight shone brightly.
But behind the smile and perfect posture, Naomie was drowning. The weight of a

nation's expectations pressed down on her shoulders while she wrestled with

struggles no one could see: the voice that whispered she wasn't worthy, the

panic attacks hidden behind bathroom doors, the loneliness that comes from being 
celebrated but never truly known. In More Than a Crown, Naomie shares the story
few ever hear—the human journey beneath the title and the crushing reality of living up
to an impossible image. With vulnerability that will make you laugh, cry, and feel less
alone in your own struggles, she takes us inside the moments that nearly broke her
and the hard-won lessons that put her back together. This is not a glossy success story.
It is a celebration of strength, vulnerability, and the power of choosing yourself. 
Through her words, Naomie reminds us that true crowns are not placed on our
heads, but carried in our hearts.
