Sunday Omony is an Ugandan-Canadian plus-size model and activist.

In February of 2017 she made false allegations of racial profiling against a member of the Calgary Police Service following a traffic stop in which she failed to stop for a marked police cruiser for over 20 blocks and was suspected of impairment. After being called out by the chief of the CPS including video evidence that she had made false statements she retracted her comments.

Career

Omony hosted Canada's Miss Exotika beauty pageant in 2013.[1] She worked as a procurement analyst in the oil industry.[2]
