The Miss Curvy Uganda competition says it wants to celebrate curvaceous women and end 'size zero' beauty standards.

Mother-of-four Mariam Namukasa was motivated to take part in the pageant after her break-up with her husband.

She's also a headteacher at a kindergarten, and wants to be known for empowering women "in whatever way I can".
