Hi, I’m Peace ✌🏼 I am the creator and host of Pretty Little Red Flags 💌

I’ve always been fascinated by people. The way we love. The way we cope. The emotions we hide. The stories we tell ourselves. The habits we inherit. The patterns we repeat without even realizing.

Pretty Little Red Flags was born from that curiosity.

This isn’t about finding the red flags in other people. It’s about understanding the ones in ourselves.

Because the habits we call “red flags” rarely appear out of nowhere. They’re often shaped by our experiences, our upbringing, the love we received, the love we didn’t receive, our fears, our insecurities and the ways we’ve learned to protect ourselves.

So before we judge them, maybe we should understand them.

Maybe healing begins with enough self-awareness to say,
“I am a red flag but what can I do to be better.”

That’s what Pretty Little Red Flags is about. 💌

If this page becomes anything, I hope it becomes a community.

One where we listen more than we judge.
Where honesty is welcomed.
Where self-awareness is celebrated.
And where nobody has to pretend they’ve got life completely figured out.

Thank you for being here before Episode One. We’re still building, but I promise it’ll be worth the wait.

I’m so happy you’re here. 💌

Pretty Little Red Flags Launch Party 💌

One week ago, I watched something that had lived in my head for so long become a lived moment.

For the first time, the world of Pretty Little Red Flags opened its doors and invited its first little community in. We laughed, we talked, we reflected, we shared, and somewhere in between all of that, this stopped feeling like just my idea and started feeling like something bigger.

And getting to create that moment alongside @makeri_beauty made it even more special. Two women, two brands, two visions; coming together and creating a world of our own. There was something incredibly powerful about that and I think that’s what I’ll remember most about this night.

Not that everything was perfect.

But that it was real.

It was ours.

And it was beautiful.

Happy one week anniversary, Pretty Little Red Flags.
Here’s to growing together. 💌🚩

Love,
Peace ✌🏼🤍

I’ve never wanted to be easy to summarise.

Not in a caption. Not in a photograph. Not even beneath a crown. Looking back, I love that these frames hold different feelings at once: confident and quiet, radiant and reflective. A person can stand fully in the light and still keep parts of themselves private.

Red has always been my favourite colour; not because it means only one thing, but because it can hold so many emotions at once: love and heartbreak, tenderness and fire, radiance and warning, life in all its beautiful contradictions.

The colour red is vivid, unapologetic, alive. It doesn’t give a single explanation; rather it gives me room to be many things at once. That curiosity about all the things a person can hold at once is part of why I created @prettylittleredflagspod I think that’s the beauty of being human: to hold every contradiction and still remain wholly yourself 💌

I had the absolute pleasure of wearing this beautiful dress by @meka_femme for the first ever Queen’s Walk held at the @misscongoeireann @missafricanroyalteen pageant. Thank you @alida_emeka for creating a space where Queens from every pageant in Ireland is celebrated and given an opportunity to shine ✨❤️ I felt very inspired in this beautiful red dress ❤️‍🔥 taken in Dublin, Ireland by @_thequeenpeace

Today makes it one week since I was appointed and crowned Miss The Next African Queen in Ireland 2026-2027 👑✨

It’s still hard to put into words what that night meant to me. Receiving this crown was a dream come true, and I understand the honour and responsibility that come with it. I’m deeply grateful to the Miss The Next African Queen Ireland organisation and team @misstnaqi for trusting me with this role and this platform 🥹❤️❤️

Thank you to the team at Luttrellstown Castle Resort @luttrellstowngolf for hosting us so beautifully. To the special guests and @misstnaqi team @katrinvankrause @shwetzd @irish_christian_golf_pro @asta.jakubson @femme_sage_mamahs @givenchydeparis @timmy_living @cloclovee @nokladdesigns @don_loboss Falone; thank you for your generosity and for making the evening an unforgettable experience. To my friends, family and everyone who came to celebrate and cheer me on: @emilye_ee @stevie_mon90s @kalaaiine @adizy.photography your presence made the night truly memorable. I felt so loved and supported 🥹🫶💋

My first week as Queen has been beautiful, and I’m excited for the experiences ahead and the opportunities to serve, uplift and make an impact. I’m stepping into this chapter with a full heart and a deep sense of purpose. This is only the beginning 💌 taken in Dublin, Ireland by @_thequeenpeace

Born to be Queen 👑✨

For years, I’ve stepped onto pageant stages carrying a dream in my heart: to wear a crown with purpose and represent something bigger than myself. So when the beautiful @cloclovee placed the crown on my head, it felt like more than just a beautiful moment. I thought of every version of me who dared to dream, kept believing and kept reaching for this.

Now, as Miss The Next African Queen in Ireland 2026, I get to turn that dream into a responsibility I’m proud to carry. I want to use this platform to serve, make an impact, uplift women and help broaden the stories we tell about African women; stories that make room for our ambition, brilliance, tenderness, leadership and strength.

And to every girl watching: let yourself dream boldly. The road may not always be easy, but where you begin does not have to decide how far you can go. Keep showing up for the life you want, my story is proof that nothing is ever out of reach 💌

I’m proud of the girl who dreamed of this moment, and excited for the journey ahead 🫶

A crown is more than a title. It’s an opportunity to make a difference. 👑🎀

As Miss The Next African Queen in Ireland 2026–2027, I’m proud to announce my very first charitable initiative: a fundraising campaign in aid of @breastcancerireland 💗

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, encourage important conversations about breast health, and stand in solidarity with everyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer.

For me, this initiative is about using my platform for something bigger than myself. It’s about turning awareness into action, supporting life-changing research, and reminding women of the importance of knowing their bodies and seeking medical advice when something doesn’t feel right.

Through this campaign, I hope to bring people together, inspire generosity, and contribute in whatever way I can to the incredible work Breast Cancer Ireland is doing.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference. 💕

If you’re able to support, please consider donating through the link in my bio. Your kindness and generosity would mean so much.

Together, we can turn compassion into action, one contribution at a time. 🎀

A Love Letter to Myself 💌

Dear Queen Peace, loving you everyday has taken me far away indeed! Loving you has taught me resilience, kindness and devotion. Loving you has taught me to keep going through the dark days, to keep fighting for my dreams, and to have the audacity to try what once felt impossible.

Loving you has brought me so much joy. Loving you has shown me that even when others walk away, I still have you. You were brave enough to leave what you knew and build a life somewhere new. Brave enough to tell stories, create something from your heart and put your work into the world. Brave enough to step into rooms you only once dreamed about.

Look how far we’ve come because you kept believing in you, even when you had to be a little delusional to do it. You are stronger than you know, and there is no one else who could ever be you. I hope you know how proud I am of you. I’ll always love you.

Always yours,
Me 🤍

A bad day has never been enough to stop me, and it never will. I’ll keep showing up, chasing my dreams, and giving everything I’ve got until every single one becomes my reality. 👑❤️

And to every girl watching this, I want you to know that your dreams are valid. No matter where you come from, your background, your circumstances, or the challenges you may face along the way, never let any of those things make you believe that your dreams are beyond your reach.

Dream boldly with audacity, believe in yourself, and never stop working towards the life you envision for yourself. You are capable of so much more than you know.

I am Peace Okolo, your Miss The Next African Queen in Ireland ✨👑

A Nigerian Queen 👑✨

Before the crown, before the title, I wanted my first look to tell you where I come from and where my story began: Nigeria 🇳🇬

For my coronation as Miss The Next African Queen Ireland, I chose to wear my traditional Igbo attire for my first look of the evening. I wanted to honour my roots and bring a piece of home with me into this new chapter.

I am Nigerian. I am Igbo. I am African. And as I step forward to represent Africa in Ireland, I carry my culture and where I come from with pride 🫶

I am Peace Uchechukwu Okolo, your 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝗻 𝗜𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳⁣
