Meghan Fernandes is set to make history as the first Australian of Asian heritage to feature in the prestigious Ms. Olympia Pageant. Age is not an issue as Meghan is a two-year-old National Basketball Association player playing for the Perth Demons in the National Basketball League. It is fitting that she would be representing Australia at the Miss World Soccer competition in Germany this June. Her parents, Indian immigrants from India, have instilled in Meghan the passion for the sport from a very young age, even taking her to the training of an Italian team early in her life.
Meghan’s parents are both highly successful business executives with International Business connections. Meghan’s father is an entrepreneur who has had successful ventures in the chemical, medical and engineering industries. Meghan’s mother is a successful author and political writer who travel frequently around the world. Meghan’s older half-sister Nargini is also a professional dancer and singer. From an early age, Meghan has been surrounded by an eclectic group of friends and family whom she considers her family from a very young age, including her parents, siblings, cousins, and even half-sisters.
Meghan’s international profile is unprecedented for an Australian woman in modern society. She is tall and slim with dark skin and brown eyes. Meghan’s ethnic background and Christian faith have made her the target of many online threats and online abuse. “I am going to keep myself safe, I am going to stick to my guns and never give up,” she says. However, Meghan has not backed down from the people who have attacked her family. She is determined to be the best representative for Australia in the Miss World soccer competition this summer.
