Chanique Rabe Honeyborne (born 17 March 1997) is a Namibian model, fashion designer, and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Supranational 2021. Rabe was previously crowned Miss Teen Continents 2015 and Miss Supranational Namibia 2020,[1] making her the first representative from Namibia to win the Miss Supranational title, the first African country to do so.[2][3][4] Rabe’s interests lie in the creative aspects of the fashion industry; thus, I am working on getting a broad variety of experience throughout the industry.
