Big Brother Africa Profile
Former M-Net Face of Africa model search Top 10 finalist Esperanca loves pizza, The Oprah Winfrey Show, America's Next Top Model, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and horror movies.
Her role model is Naomi Campbell, because she's always admired her work – and people have told her that they look alike. Her mom has been a huge influence in her life, supporting her in everything she does.
She entered Big Brother StarGame because she's always wanted to be in the house and would be proud to represent Angola. She says it's also a great opportunity for exposure – and the grand prize money doesn't hurt either.
Describing herself as outgoing, a "people's person", decisive and friendly, she cites her determined nature – which allows her to make sure she gets what she wants when she sets her sights on it – as her favourite quality.
She dislikes dishonest people and promises viewers that they can expect fun, laughter and drama from her.
Her favourite place in Angola is Mussulo, a beautiful, exotic island across from Luanda – also a great spot for fishing. Esperanca says the best thing about Africa is our wild animals – the Big 5 in particular – and the exotic mountains.
Outside of her home country, her favourite place is Mombasa: "The Indian Ocean blows you away, the weather is fantastic, the food is amazing and the people are very humble," she says.
