TT’s Abrahams makes Miss World top 4, Czech Republic takes crown

Miss Trinidad and Tobago Aché Abrahams brought the country to the closest it’s been to the Miss World crown in years.

Abrahams worked her way through the top 40, top 12, top 8 before she beat Miss Brazil to come out on top of the Americas and the Caribbean region.

Miss Lebanon Yasmina Zaytoun was the runner-up up and Krystyna Pyszková of Czech Republic won the competition.

Abrahams faced two question-and-answer segments. She was first asked, “According to you, what is the most pressing issue that most working women face, and why?”
She replied, “I have to say it’s not a lack of talent or skills, it’s a lack of opportunities. So I’m grateful for Miss World for giving me this platform because you’re allowing me to follow my dreams.”

She sent a message to the girls and boys from the country saying, “Your voice is just as powerful as everyone else’s.

In her second question she was asked to “pitch” to the Shark Tank India judges why she should win the competition.

She said she can offer Miss World is the mindset of the people of Trinidad and Tobago.

“In sweet T&T we say may every creed and race find an equal place. I live my life every day with that motto, with that mantra. I believe Miss World has a similar mantra. I believe when you have compassion and understanding for differences, you can really make a difference in the world and work hand in hand to create a bright future. For me I am so honoured to be here and to share the mindset of T&T because we can truly make a difference. In Trinidad and Tobago, we acknowledge our similarities but more importantly, we celebrate our differences. We see the beauty in diversity and we promote inclusion.”
