The international event, which will be held in Brazil, is scheduled for November this year. Lebanna, as the director of Little Miss Universe Botswana, boasts of grooming the current Little Miss Princess of the World 2016, Tshepang Khan.
Lebanna, a former Miss Botswana 2012 contestant, stated that the Miss Teen Beauty Pageant noticed her impressive hard work during the numerous overseas pageants that she attended.
“This is a great opportunity, all these international invitations give me the opportunity to gain more experience that I can use to help groom young pageant contestants. Through this invitation I will also network with international pageant directors like I have previously done,” Lebanna said.
This will be the second international beauty pageant where Lebanna is part of the judging panel. The first one was the recently held Little Miss Princess of the World pageant in Russia.
The God-fearing Lebanna believes that her hard work and persistence has played a role in her receiving invitations to be one of the panelists on judging the international pageants.
During the Little Miss Princess of the World pageant Lebanna was the youngest and only African amongst the pageant adjudicators.
“I have learnt that if you work hard for what you want you will get it. There are no shortcuts to success,” she said.
Lebanna stated that she is yet to decide if she will take any local model to participate at the pageant.
Miss Teen Beauty Pageant grand finale will be hosted by international model, Sancler Frantz.
