New International Pageant Seeks Bahamian Representative


Nassau, The Bahamas… By the end of May, one lucky young woman will make history as the first ever Miss Bahamas Global and head off to represent the country at an international pageant. The new scholarship and talent focused pageant aims to give ladies between ages 17 and 26 a platform to not only display physical beauty but also showcase ways in on which they can be positive role models, leaders and ambassadors for a worthy cause.
According to pageant director Desiree Tynes-Moss, a priority for the contestants of the pageant was to make sure it would be fairly judged and not compromise the faith of potential queens.
“As a former model and pageant contest, I’ve seen various sides of the industry and I want to sensitize the public of the positive aspects of pageantry,” said Mrs. Tynes-Moss. “As the mother of a young daughter, I consider each of the contestants my own and would not want them in a position where they would not feel comfortable. Overall, I think this pageant will be successful when we have a caliber of ladies who will represent not only the country but represent what today’s young women should aspire to be like. Right now, we have a few girls who found out about our pageant but we are still accepting more contestants especially those from the Family Islands or those who may be living away and be back home in time for the event.”
Mrs. Tynes-Moss added that the Miss Global Bahamas Organization’s aim is to empower young ladies through pageantry by providing real opportunities for them to excel through exposure, through a structured dynamics, and enriching personal enhancement pageantry program. She noted that while there is a scholarship and cash prize among other goodies for the overall winner, self-appreciation is more important. “We seek to instill self confidence, good moral values, and national pride emphasis on personal character and leaderships, thus preparing young ladies today for the road ahead tomorrow,” said Mrs. Tynes-Moss. “Like we say in our motto, we seek empowerment through pageantry, creating opportunities and changing lives. For one young woman, when she wins this crown she will not be just another beauty queen but a living part of history.”
