Kenya proudly stole the spotlight at the Grand Finale of the Little Mister and Miss Africa 2025, held in Cairo, Egypt.
The dazzling event, which brought together young contestants from 10 African nations, was a celebration of talent, confidence, and cultural pride on an international stage.
Making history for Kenya, Ayaan Mushila was crowned Little Mister Top Model Africa 2025–2026, becoming the first Kenyan boy to ever win the coveted title.
His victory is not just a personal triumph, but a national milestone, highlighting the boundless potential of Kenyan boys to excel on global platforms traditionally dominated by other countries.
Adding to the country’s moment of pride, Ayaan’s sister, Ayra Mushila, who holds the title of Tiny Top Model Africa 2024–2025, had the special honour of crowning this year’s Tiny Top Model Africa winner during the grand ceremony.
Ayaan’s journey to the top has been marked by consistent brilliance. Before his latest win, he held the title of Little Mister Africa 2023–2024, which he clinched in South Africa.
His growing list of achievements serves as an inspiration to many young Africans, showing that talent, hard work, and determination can break barriers.
Driven by a powerful message, Ayaan reminds the world: “Let the boy child not be forgotten or restricted. What the girl child can do and enjoy, so can the boy child.”
