So much emotion!

This Saturday, September 26, 2020, it's a dream come true for me.

Barely a month and a half after having joined my parents and my sisters in Wallis, I am elected ambassador of my fenua.

Thank you to all Wallisians and Futunians for giving me this chance!

Thank you to all the people who have supported me since my childhood, from my first tennis matches to the Pacific.

Ofa mamahi atu ❤️ PS: So much emotion that the scarf is turned upside down 😆 📷 @uvea_photo # misswallisetfutuna2020 #misswallisetfutuna #wallisetfutuna #uveamofutuna # missfrance2021 #missfrance #misspacificislands #mylenehalemai
