Overcoming  unimaginable  things is nothing new for Victoria Quiyo.Not only is she a thoughtful mother and wife,she is a social activist and an entrepreneur, who has broken barriers and help foster an environment that inspires the community to cultivate and incorporate sustainable skills  and ideas.

Hailing from the hilly district of Senapati, Manipur, Victoria grew up surrounded by nature and the rich Maram Thangal culture.  As a child, she was bright eyed, adventurous and had a deep desire for learning. Her fervent love for her culture and mother nature helped her initiate “Evergreen Hand” in 2008 a local handicrafts and skill development enterprise which offers authentic Manipuri handicrafts by artisans, especially northeast women artisans. She stands by the belief that local establishments and handmade business supports the local craft industries and people.

With a strong resolute determination and passion, Victoria has devoted more than 9 years of her life towards several organisations and movements including awareness programmes on menstrual health and hygiene,distribution of menstrual pads, charity for the poor and destitute, educational programmes and initiatives to help women and children in the most disadvantaged groups in rural areas of Manipur while providing resources and sustainable ways for women to economically empower themselves to help make their goals and dreams turn into a reality.

“Jamie Kitchen” with the message, “No child should suffer from hunger” is a mission to feed the poor and hungry and share the hope that comes with God.

There is no limit to what we, as women can accomplish. And Victoria is an exemplary example of it. Her determination, compassion and consistence has earned her several titles and prestigious awards,

Through all her struggles and ventures, her beliefs have been affirmed that the most important ingredients that leads to the success of women are two things, support for one another and education to realise one’s dreams.

Victoria is fighting to make this become a reality through future endeavours that she would focus on with the grace of God as she believes, “A woman who fears the lord is to be praised”.

Dr. V V Manjula Kumari  a very sensitive focused  personality from a small town Guntoor ,a very pampered daughter of her Dad is from a traditional Brahmin family. Where glamour ,and fashion was a taboo and no one could  ever dream about beauty pageants.

A lucky girl was always supported  by her Ammamma(Granny) and Dad, to live her dreams She  had to fight a lot with Mom and rest of  extended family members..

Being conservative and  afraid of getting into unnecessary troubles, they never ever wanted her to be on the glamour field they wanted her to focus on education and be a successful Doctor.

She never wanted to hurt the emotions of her parents . She had dreams to walk the ramp but was always  bullied by  her classmates and friends  around her for being a fatty girl in school days , she was determined and never lost her confidence and nurtured her dreams of being a Queen of Universe.

A very devoted personality never neglected anything whatever work or responsibilities came her way ,she took it up very seriously and gave her 100% to achieve it.The most beautiful turning point of her life was when she was in love  with her dream man and she left all her dreams for him .She was really broken when she  was being questioned for her beauty by her husband’s relatives, as if being beautiful is the only criteria to get married. She  took a call  for herself and participated in a city pageant where she was crowned Miss Guntur and  Miss Andhra Beautiful eyes. She took the challenge Beauty is not in the eyes but in one’s personality and achievements and to prove this she not only won the pageant but also stood first in her academics.

She sacrificed all her dreams and got married to her beloved and wanted to have a blissful happy married life , but  destiny has something else in bestowed ,she was disheartened to know that she was not the only one in his life,she could not take this bitter truth and  started slipping into the darker clouds of depression,which dimmed her radiance for longer times,made her days gloomy.

Her strong inner self motivated her and made her realise that every darkest cloud has a Silver lining and  she’s Self-luminanous and can stand for herself ,she no more requires support from anyone .she restarted her journey and re-lived her life,her dreams,as per her passion.

Her Dad her inspiration stood  like pillar in her life this time,Mom also  supported to bring her back her hidden dreams . Her struggle started and she  achieved a lot in professional life ,but always had a small sadness that she can never achieve her  Dream of being Queen of Universe as she had responsibility of a mother and was overweight for any Beauty pageants

One of her friend adviced her to participate in a Beauty Pageant which was  for married women and here her hidden dreams got rejuvnated and she made it her goal to achieve it .She started her journey towards 360 degrees grooming  herself with determination and perseverance .It took almost two  years to  reach her childhood dream of being a Queen ,She gave the  best of herself during this course of  her journey.

She bagged the Crowns of “Mrs. Amaravathi”,”2nd Runner up Mrs.India”, “Mrs.India Intellectual” and today she is a Super Queen of Universe-2020 “Of “PQU”..Popular queen of universe.

It is rightly said where there is a will there is a way.She has achieved many awards for her professional career as an obese consultant,she is a Role Model for many ,treated lakhs of people in her chain of obesity management clinic.She is being invited as a Keynote speaker on Obesity Management.
