While supporters were disappointed to learn that Miss World T&T Aché Abrahams wasn’t among the 11 finalists for Top Talent, she was a finalist for her Beauty with a Purpose Project, Invisible Scars.
Abrahams was the only Caribbean representative among the finalists of the pre-pageant competition.
Her project is aimed at destigmatising mental health issues.
Standing before an audience, the Miss World T&T representative shared the personal meaning behind her project, revealing that she suffered with depression.
“I remember crying my eyes out at the peak of my depression and praying to God and saying, ‘God, just give me a reason to live. Give me a reason to wake up every morning.’ I felt like I had no hope. I felt like I had no purpose.
And, three years after that prayer, I found my way onto the Miss World stage as a semi-finalist for Beauty with a Purpose, so I found my purpose,” she said.
Abrahams thanked her fellow finalists and other contestants, whom she said empowered her.
She said their support has given her the confidence and encouragement to help those suffering in silence with mental health issues.
Meanwhile, the inspiration behind Abrahams’ elegant gown for the Top Model competition, designed by Miss World TT Franchise Holder and National Director, Charu Lochan Dass, was revealed in a post to the official Facebook page for the Miss World representative.
The impressive silk organza gown was assembled using just over 30 yards of fabric and took more than 200 hours to create. cite web}}: CS1 maint: unfit URL (link)
