- A recap of Guyana's Miss World Journey to the crown
THE new Miss World will be crowned on March 9, in Mumbai, India. Guyana's representative, Andrea King, has been doing an exemplary job in representing the 'land of many waters.'
Last month, King journeyed to India where she joined 115 women participating in the pageant which was last won by Miss World, Karolina Bielawska, of Poland in March, 2022.
If you haven't been tracking the competition, don't fret, we have all the details you need to know.
THE START OF HER JOURNEY
Back in August 2022, King copped the Regia Lily award.
The 25-year-old project manager at telecommunications company, GTT, hails from Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) and is the holder of a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management. She is a former student of The Bishops' High School.
To recap the coronation ceremony held here in Georgetown, Guyana, King was greeted with thundering applause, and was a fan favorite who was already set to win a number of side prizes including the most popular delegate on social media.
She had graced the stage donned in a baby pink blush rhinestone gown, with what appeared to be chiffon draping. This was her moment. Her coronation. Her crown.
King entered the National Cultural Centre (NCC) a princess, and exited a queen, copping also the prizes for the Multimedia Challenge, the Head-to-Head Challenge, and the Talent Segment.
"Being the representation of Guyana in this competition is my honour and I embody this role with much pride and respect for my country. With your unwavering support, I am fueled with determination to showcase our culture and abilities to the world.
"Thank you for believing in me. Together, let's shine brightly and show the world GUYANA!" King recently shared on Instagram.
THE COMPETITION SO FAR
Currently in Mumbai, King has been representing the '592' with the fierceness comparable to that of a Jaguar, the might of the Essequibo and the poise of the savannahs.
She recently presented her 'Beauty with a Purpose" project on the international stage -Project FLO (Financial Literacy Orientation) -- which was established to help shape the future of Guyana through education.
The initiative focusses on developing cognitive skills in financial literacy for Guyanese youth who are making the transition into adulthood. By educating students in financial literacy, Project FLO aims to disrupt generational poverty cycles by introducing the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors needed for a future of financial stability.
King believes that "Financial Literacy is a necessary life skill that plays an integral role in disrupting generational poverty cycles and preventing economic abuse."
She also joined her fellow pageant queens for the launch of the 'Save the Tiger' campaign.
She has since been lobbying for this environmental cause and, although miles away from her home, King is raising awareness for this cause here in Guyana.
