About the Author

Meet Naomie Nishimwe

Naomie Nishimwe is Miss Rwanda 2020 and the author of More Than a Crown.

Known publicly for the crown, Naomie uses this memoir to take readers beyond the title — into the real journey behind the spotlight: the lessons, the pressure, the growth, the faith, and the personal battles that shaped who she became.

More Than a Crown is an invitation to look deeper — at identity beyond applause, purpose beyond public image, and what it means to remain grounded when life puts a label on you.

This is not just a story about a crown.

It’s a story about what lasts after the moment passes.
