Veronique Williams - Miss Darcheville Construction Equipment Sales Caribbean Ltd.

Her name is Veronique Petra Williams, a 20-year-old resident of the town Chateaubelair in the North Leeward district of St. Vincent. She is the second child of seven children born to Ms. Sonia Williams and Artis Findlay. She considers herself fortunate in having been raised by her great grandmother, who instilled in her, during her formative years, the morals and values of life.

Her early teenage years were spent in Antigua & Barbuda, where she encountered and experienced a more diverse cultural community before returning to beautiful SVG in 2002.
Her secondary school education was provided by the Petit Bordel Secondary School, where she obtained nine O’level subjects at CXC/GCE examinations in 2006. She was awarded the Ministry of Education’s top performer of her school. Subsequently, she attended the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College where she pursued courses in Sociology, Business Studies and Communication Studies.

Her interest in fashion and pageantry is profound, and for this reason she joined the Mije Personal Development Agency to enhance her skills in these areas. She has participated in various fashion shows. She entered the Miss North Leeward Pageant in 2008, where she placed 2nd runner up. She received the best Swim-wear and People’s Choice awards at that show. That was her first pageant and it was an exciting time and experience for her.
She currently works at the National ICT Training Project (NICTTP) as a receptionist. She enjoys seeing new faces every day, and she is very proud of the Project’s aim, which is to make as many Vincentians, especially those living in rural communities, computer literate.
She is a friendly, ambitious and spontaneous individual. She enjoys reading, writing, watching TV and socialising. Her main goal is to become a strong and successful financial consultant. To this end, she has been looking at institutions that offer degrees in financial courses, which she can pursue.

Participating in the Miss SVG Pageant has always been a part of her dream. She is optimistic about this opportunity, as it will afford her a stepping stone in combining her love for fashion and a desire to pursue academic studies. She is only one step closer to attaining another of her life goals.

Eshurnia Glasgow - Miss Williams Agencies & Fragrances

She was born on November 12, 1986 in St. Vincent. She lives with her mother Vanda, her father Ricardo, her sister Anneka and her brother Christopher. She is the eldest of her siblings and also the one they look up to. But like all brothers and sisters, they fight. But she still loves them and will do anything for them.

Eshurnia attended the Richland Park Government School, after which she attended the Mountain View Adventist Academy high school in Richland Park. After school, she became a pre-school teacher at the Children of Tomorrow Pre School for a few months. She is now working at the Grenadine House located in Kingstown Park, for a little over one year. She is currently a member of the Blue Angels Modelling/Personal Development Agency. She is also Miss P’tani 2008. In her spare time, she enjoys singing, cooking, baking and modelling.
Life to her means family and friends who trust her and whom she can trust. She is pretty much on the happy side of life, but like everyone, she has to cope with her bad days.
The year 2015 will make 12 years since she graduated from high school. She thinks that in the years ahead, she would still be living in St. Vincent and the Grenadines; that she would be happy and comfortable with her living situation. She plans to be married, to have two children, have her own house and own a restaurant.

In the future, she would like to see all vagrants off the streets and put into a special home where they can be cared for, have proper food to eat, clothes and shoes to wear and be educated.

Kimorra Lavia – Miss Super 6

She is 20-year-old Kimorra Lavia residing in the community of Clare Valley, which contributes greatly to the fishing industry in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. She was born on April 22, 1988. She is the third of five children for her mother Maricha Ballantyne, and the last for her father Joseph Lavia. She is a past student of the Campden Park Secondary School and the St. Vincent Community College.

From early childhood, she had the ambition to become an attorney-at-law. As she grew, this desire was strengthened when she often read the newspapers and saw the fearlessness and competency being displayed by women such as Justice Monica Joseph, Magistrate Deborah Thomas-Felix and Magistrate Sharon Morris-Cummings in pronouncing sentences on the “menaces” to our society. As a result, she regarded Justice Joseph as a role model.

She was afforded the opportunity to attend the St. Vincent Community College and, driven by her aspirations, she chose Law as one of her courses. As a result, she has gained knowledge about the legal system and individual rights, which would be a stepping stone to the realisation of her dreams.

She is a goal-oriented, sociable and adventurous individual. Her hobbies include socialising with her family, playing board games, reading and participating in recreational activities.

Yasmeen Hadaway – Miss LIME

Receiving most of her education in the United States, Miss Hadaway graduated in 2004 from Stuyvesant High School in New York City and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Dance from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut in 2008.

Her decision to pursue her degree was greatly influenced by her dedication to dance training from the age of 4 years. She has studied most genres of dance at a professional level and has performed with a few notable choreographers and companies such as choreographer Arthur Aviles of New York City and the Malick Folk Performing Company in Trinidad.
Yasmeen presently works as a sales associate at a department store in New York City and is a dance instructor for an after-school programme at a community centre in Brooklyn. After attending the University of the West Indies in St. Augustine, Trinidad and learning much about Trinidad’s folk culture, she gained interest in the connection between culture and the performing arts.

She decided to enter the Miss SVG Pageant in hopes of expressing the importance of culture, education, and the arts in St. Vincent as her platform. She is passionate about education in the creative and cultural arts and intends to return to university for a Master’s in Arts Administration.

Her future goal is to start her own performing arts theatre company with the aim of collecting, preserving and expressing Vincentian folk culture.

Asmara Whiskey – Miss Caribbean Medical Imaging Centre

She grew up in Calliaqua where her grandparents lived. She was a “tom-boy” playing with the boys; and she has the scars to prove it.

She attended the Kingstown Anglican School, after which she attended the St. Joseph’s Convent, Kingstown. In school, her favourite subject was Geography. She was especially interested in the chapters on beaches and coral reefs and how they taught us to take care of our planet.

She has always been fascinated by beauty pageants. So that in 2007 she was crowned Miss East St. George. By participating in Miss SVG 2009, she hopes to achieve one of her life’s goals and become an excellent ambassador for St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which includes being a role model for young women in our country.

Her motto in life is simply be the best one can be and always reach for the stars.
