Mister Earth Fire pageant which was hosted in Philippines.
This year his one of the few African models who participated in Man of
The World Pageant which was held in Philippines. In an interview Nick
Kevin (NK) shares with us some his greatest moments during the Man Of
the World Pageant.
TR:Who is Nick Kevin Parker?
NP: Nick Kevin Parker is a 23 Cameroonian Model. I m a graduate of
Journalism and Mass communications.
TR:Tell us more about your modelling career?
NP: I started modeling in 2016, when i got the title of Mister Pacific
World Cameroon. With this title i was suppose to represent my country
at the next edition of Mister Pacific World 2017 in Peru, May 2017.
Unfortunately i couldn't travel due to visa issues. I didn't give up,
i kept working till i got other opportunities.
TR:You previously participated at Man of the World pageant,share with
us some of the experience that you had?
NP: Man of the world pageant is actually my second international pageant.
In April 2018 i left my country to take part in Mister Earth pageant
in the Philippines in which i got the title of Mister Earth Fire
International 2018 (3rd runner up). This pageant took place 2 weeks
after i lost my father.I wasn't satisfied with Mister Earth pageant
because of the organization, so i joined Man of the world pageant.
This is an unforgettable pageant, i can say the best so far. This
pageant was not all about getting the crown but it was all about
brotherhood, building strong relationship. I liked the harmony and
friendship that existed among us contestants. It was such an amazing
experience since i met new cultures, new habits, lifestyles etc.....
TR:What was your greatest moment during the pageant?
NP: My greatest moment during the pageant is when i got a bronze medal
in swimwear competition. It was so amazing and i cried that day as i
remembered my father. I said to myself " your dad is happy, you made
him proud with this medal".
I Will also mention our different appearances in public where we
contestants were always welcomed with honors, respects; like Hollywood
celebrities.
TR:One might say Africa had few model who were contesting compared to
other continents.What do you think it means to Africa's modelling
industry ?
NP: In my opinion, i will just say that Modelling in Africa is still
trying to find its way. Many African countries don't support the idea,
as far as male models are being concerned. In my country for instance
modeling is always considered being a woman stuff.
TR:What would it mean if Africa hosted such an event?
NP: It Will be wonderful because this Will help Africa to come out
from the darkness an showcase his culture around the world, to make an
impact in the modeling industry and of course to promote our cultural
values, habits and talents to the whole world.
TR:Besides the man of the world pageant which other pageants have you graced?
NP: As i said earlier, Man of the world pageant is actually my second
international pageant. Mister Earth pageant was the first. I won't
stop at this point since other pageants are coming.
TR:You are based in Cameroon can you describe for us the modelling
industry in Cameroon especially for male models?
NP: Modeling in Cameroon is still crippling, poor especially for male models.
TR:Thank you for your time
NP:Thanks so much for this opportunity as you guys are promoting black
models around the world. I m so Grateful.
