Nollywood Legend, Regina Askia, 55 Years Young & Still Looking Beautiful.

Regina Askia-Williams (born in 1967) is a Nigerian-born, American-based family nurse practitioner, healthcare and educational activist, television producer, writer, and public speaker, who found fame as an actress and model.

It’s amazing how flawless her beauty and skin is despite the fact that she’s in her mid fifties, as a former medical student who had transferred from the University of Calabar to the University of Lagos she was crowned Miss Unilag. Also in the early 90’s Askia – Williams represented Nigeria at Miss Charm International held in Leningrad, Russia, and came second. She went further and made history by becoming the first Nigerian at Miss International in Japan, where she made an impact with the most outstanding traditional costume.

Evidently, judging by the accolades she has achieved in the beauty industry gives a fair idea on why she has shown kin and conscious effort to remain flawless with regards to her appearance. She once survived the attack on the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. She escaped from the building, where she worked at the time, only three months after relocating to New York City with her family.

In 2007, Askia-Williams was among several African women given an award by the Celebrating African Motherhood Organization (CAM) at a gala event in Washington, D.C.
