Leyla van Greuning (20) was recently crowned Miss Supranational South Africa 2019. The 1.7m part-time marketing student, sports coach and au-pair is from Johannesburg. Leyla enjoys modeling and describes the ramp as her “happy place”. Optimistic, determined, vivacious, motivated, dedicated, kind and caring are some of the words she use to describe herself. In her free time, Leyla enjoys traveling, socializing, baking and exercising.

Her mission in life is to spread the power of optimism and she lives by the mantra, “Good or bad day – the choice is yours.” She aspires to lift the spirits and build the self-esteem of children, focusing on those with life-threatening illnesses. Leyla’s dream is to bring hope to her country, South Africa, and is constantly seeking for opportunities to do so. Her goal is to become the first woman from Africa to win the Miss Supranational title this December.

Welcome to the #Suprafamily, Leyla. See you in Poland!
