On July 29, 15 young women dreamed of winning the title and thus succeeding Eva Navarro, candidate for the region last year. In this game, it was Chana Goyons, from the vicinity of Saint-Tropez, who had the best and was crowned Miss Provence 2022. The one who had just obtained her Bac with honors thus took a sabbatical year to enjoy the Miss France adventure as it should be. Subsequently, she wants to move into the field of finance by entering a business school.
Chana Goyons is a great sportswoman. She particularly enjoys golf. According to the young woman, it is a good way to evacuate stress for her who suffers particularly from it. Sporty, studious and committed. Miss Provence 2022 wishes to engage in the fight against breast cancer, but also with disadvantaged children. Her destiny as a beauty queen was not all mapped out and the young woman would never have imagined getting there one day, as she explained at the microphone of La Provence, briefly mentioning having suffered from school harassment in the past: ” It’s not necessarily a dream of a little girl because, when I was younger, I would never have imagined being there, compared to what happened in my life.”
In the columns of TV Mag, Chana Goyons explains that her personal cause is to fight against domestic violence including rape and incest. In doing so, she would like more French people to become aware of this reality, despite the taboo that it represents in the country. “I am part of the Carl association which deals with intra-family violence, whether rape or domestic violence. It touches me. I find that we do not talk enough about incest when one in ten children is Some people don’t prefer to talk about it because it breaks up families, I find it horrible… Even if it hasn’t happened to me personally, I think it’s a cause that needs to be heard.”
