About Leila Aigbedion

I’m Leila Aigbedion — a model, mentor, presenter, nurse, founder, and voice for women whose stories are often silenced. Born in the Netherlands with Nigerian roots, my journey began at age 14 when I was scouted in Amsterdam. That moment opened the door to an international modeling career that brought me to global stages — but my true purpose goes far beyond the runway.

I represented Nigeria and the Netherlands in multiple international pageants, earning titles like Miss Supranational Netherlands 2013 and Miss Supermodel Netherlands 2016, and placing in the Top 5 and Top 15 on global stages. Alongside modeling, I stepped into presenting, coaching, organizing, and founding my own pageants — all to create space where beauty, diversity, and strength are equally celebrated.

But my story isn’t just about crowns.
It’s about courage, voice, and healing.

As a BIG-registered nurse and coordinator, I’ve seen up close what’s often hidden — the pain, silence, and strength of women navigating their health, fertility, and identity. My personal battle with fibroids (myomas) taught me how urgent it is to speak up, ask for more, and demand better — especially for Black women, whose stories are too often dismissed or overlooked in healthcare and media.

Today, I combine everything I’ve lived and learned. I run my own digital talk show, coach young talents, create healing spaces for women through education and storytelling, and advocate for visibility, acceptance, and truth.

I’m the founder and national director of several international platforms including Miss Supermodel Worldwide Africa, Mister Model Worldwide Netherlands, and more. Through every project, I build bridges — between cultures, between industries, and between women who feel unseen and unheard.

What I stand for:

• Real representation — on screen, on stage, and in care.

• Empowering women to own their health, beauty, voice, and truth.

• Transforming pain into purpose, and silence into impact.
