Born as Clifford Oche now better known as Miss SaHHara was born in the wrong country, and in the wrong body, miss saHHara is a 29-year-old singer, supermodel based in London.

Repression in her native Nigeria almost drove her to suicide, but this weekend she was cruising down the runway in a cream dress – one of several finalists at the Miss Trans Star International beauty pageant in Barcelona, Europe’s main such event.

Set up in 2010 in the Spanish Mediterranean seaside city, the fifth edition of the contest this weekend crowned Brazil’s Rafaela Manfrini as this year’s transsexual queen, although winning was secondary for participants who have often experienced discrimination and repression.

She would put on make-up and wear her mother’s high heels.
But in Nigeria, where homosexuality and transsexuality are illegal and punishable by 14 years in jail, her situation
