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.
