Zada Stephens wins Miss SVG 2024 title

Congratulations are pouring in for Zada Stephens, Miss KCCU, who was crowned Miss SVG 2024 during the Miss SVG pageant last night titled, ‘A Royal Dream’.  

Six contestants vied for the crown, but Stephens, who exuded self-confidence and what many online are saying is a win for body positivity, was the one who got the nod of the judges to win the beauty queen title.  

Stephens also walked away with several awards including Best Cultural Wear, Best Talent and Best Interview. During the interview segment, Stephens was asked, ‘Artificial intelligence is here to stay. How can small businesses in SVG use artificial intelligence to their advantage?’  

Stephens responded: “Artificial intelligence is something that can be used to streamline administrative tasks. As an entrepreneur myself, I’ve used it prior, to do social media marketing, planning and even helped me come up with my captions. I’m a makeup artist so it allows me to focus more on my clients and what their needs are, and it allows me to book clients and do different things so that way I could focus on customer service as opposed to those sort of administrative tasks.” 

Meanwhile, first runner-up in the pageant went to Lisha Beache, Miss JCI, who was also named the winner of the GECCU Community Service Project, People’s Choice Award and Best Deportment Excellence Award. 

Second runner-up in the national show went to Felicia Hector, Miss Insta Cash.

Athalia Gloster, Miss Flow, was named Miss Photogenic. 

Alvina Pinder, Miss Grenadine House, was named Miss Congeniality and also won Best in Swimwear, Best in Evening Wear and The Best Evening Wear.  

Kewanna Hackshaw, Miss Lynch Caribbean Brokers was named Miss Community Spirit.

The Miss SVG pageant was held at Victoria Park.
