Hello, my name is Hajar Marzouki, I’m 35 years old, and I proudly represent England at Miss Europe Continental 2025. I was born and raised in Morocco, and I currently live in Wiesbaden, Germany, where I work as a licensed medical esthetician. My career allows me to combine science, beauty, and care helping people feel confident in their own skin.
– Can you tell us something about your childhood?
I had a joyful and loving childhood in Morocco, surrounded by family, tradition, and a deep sense of community. I was a curious child, always asking questions, fascinated by beauty, nature, and human connection. My upbringing taught me compassion, discipline, and the importance of staying true to who you are.
– Which aspects of your cultural background do you feel most connected to?
I feel deeply connected to the Moroccan values of kindness, respect, and hospitality. Morocco’s culture is rich, colorful, and full of heart. I carry those values with me wherever I go the strength of Moroccan women, the warmth of our traditions, and our love for both beauty and authenticity.
– How did your family react to your participation in Miss Europe Continental?
My family was incredibly supportive. They know that everything I do comes from passion and purpose. They’ve always believed in me, even when my dreams seemed unconventional. Their love and encouragement give me the strength to represent not only England but also the diverse cultural roots that shaped me.
In your opinion, what is the true meaning of beauty today?
Beauty today is about self-confidence and kindness. It’s the reflection of who we are on the inside our empathy, integrity, and courage. True beauty is timeless; it’s in how we treat others, how we lift people up, and how we embrace our individuality without comparison.
– Do you think beauty pageants have a positive impact on society?
Yes, absolutely. Beauty pageants today are not just about appearances they’re platforms for empowerment, leadership, and change. They give women a voice and the opportunity to inspire others, promote social causes, and show that beauty can go hand in hand with intelligence, compassion, and ambition.
– Is there a female figure, either famous or personal, who particularly inspires you?
My biggest inspiration is my mother. She’s the embodiment of grace and strength a woman who has faced challenges with dignity and love. She taught me that true success comes from resilience, humility, and faith in yourself, no matter what life brings your way.
– What values or messages would you like to share through this experience?
I want to share the message that it’s never too late to chase your dreams. I want women to know that age, background, or circumstance should never define their limits. Confidence, self-care, and perseverance can transform not only how you see yourself but also how you inspire others.
– Do you have any future plans related to your career or personal growth?
Definitely. As a medical esthetician, I plan to expand my practice to integrate holistic skincare and wellness, combining beauty with emotional balance and self-confidence. Personally, I’m passionate about mentoring young women who want to enter the beauty and wellness industry with purpose and integrity.
– How do you imagine your life five years from now?
In five years, I see myself continuing to grow as a professional and as a woman, maybe owning my own clinic or wellness brand that promotes both inner and outer beauty. I also hope to stay involved in humanitarian and empowerment projects helping women believe in their worth and potential.
– What advice would you give to a girl your age who is afraid to put herself out there or chase her dreams?
I would tell her: believe in yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable. Growth begins the moment you step outside your comfort zone. Don’t let fear stop you let it motivate you. Every experience, even the challenging ones, will shape the woman you are meant to become.
How are you preparing emotionally and physically for the Miss Europe Continental final?
Physically, I take care of myself through balanced nutrition, regular workouts, and of course, skincare my favorite ritual. Emotionally, I focus on mindfulness and gratitude. I remind myself that this journey is not only about competition, but about connection, confidence, and self-expression.
Thank you so much! I’m truly honored to be part of Miss Europe Continental and grateful for this opportunity to represent elegance, diversity, and empowerment. I can’t wait to meet all the amazing women in Italy and live this unforgettable experience together. 🌸🇲🇦🤍🇮🇹
