Aneka Johnson, event organiser, said: "It's not segregation at all. We are trying to promote black women.

"If there was more of an even reflection of this then I don't think there would be a need for a Miss Black Britain contest in the first place."

She added that the contest, set up in November 2006, was born out of the frustration with the lack of black British female role models and pioneers especially in the area of fashion and entertainment.

"Miss Great Britain has been dominated by a lot of white girls for a long time and many judges or even the contestants who go ahead for it are mainly white," she said.


I just found this from the organiser
