Fun Facts:
Being the next Miss World Guyana: As Guyana’s Miss World, I will hone my skills, my education, my values, and mobilize resources within my immediate network, as well as the public and private sectors, to continue to positively impact the lives of those in my region and country, but on a much larger scale. There is beauty in purpose, and my purpose right now is to be a leading example to my fellow young people, especially young women, and to encourage them to always strive for greatness in their lives.
My Quest To Become Miss World: Since COVID-19 tossed the world upside down and forced us all to adapt to new, strange, and strict conditions, I could not ignore the realization that, in the battle for survival and a sense of normalcy, there was also an increase in inequality across the globe and in our very own country. Today, as we push to move forward as a nation amidst rapid development, there is still a struggle to get our children back on track with their education. Some children have missed out on two years’ worth of classes due to the lack of technology access in their homes. As we push forward as a nation, we need our young people, especially women, to be empowered and educated to secure their place in Guyana’s brilliant future.
In my personal growth through my career, I have recognized the importance and value of networking, collaboration, and charity, and I am inspired to answer the call to do more with my life. As Guyana’s Miss World, I will hone my skills, my education, my values, and mobilize resources within my immediate network, as well as the public and private sectors, to continue to positively impact the lives of those in my region and country, but on a much larger scale. There is beauty in purpose, and my purpose right now is to be a leading example to my fellow young people, especially young women, and to encourage them to always strive for greatness in their lives.
Gratitude Wall: My most heartfelt gratitude for all the support I’ve been receiving from God, my family, friends, and well-wishers. Without you, I wouldn’t have made it this far into the competition. I’m truly, truly grateful to you all.
