Isabella Emike Olatunji, a dedicated advocate and community leader, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by being crowned Mrs. Canada Globe 2025-2026.

The historic victory makes her as the first Nigerian woman to represent Manitoba as a delegate, become a Mrs. Canada finalist, and ultimately win the national title. Isabella Olatunji was also honoured with the prestigious Queen of Peace Award, further cementing her commitment to peacebuilding and humanitarian efforts.

A proud resident of Manitoba since 2013, Isabella brings a wealth of academic and professional experience to her new role. Holding a Master’s degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Manitoba, her advocacy is deeply rooted in eliminating period poverty. Through her organisation, Kingdom Minded Queens (KMQ), est 2018, Isabella has already provided over 300 menstrual hygiene kits to vulnerable populations in Manitoba and internationally, including a recent pledge of 100 kits for Manitoba wildfire evacuees.

As Mrs. Canada Globe, Isabella Emike Olatunji is set to represent Canada on the international stage at the Mrs. Globe pageant next year, where she aims to bring home the global crown—a title Canada has not secured in over 30 years. Her reign will focus on driving meaningful change towards universal access to menstrual products across Canada, drawing inspiration from successful models in Scotland and New Zealand, and championing dignified living for all Canadians.

Isabella’s journey is a testament to her unwavering dedication to community empowerment and her inspiring commitment to social equity.
