This Miss World competition is definitely one of the most important stagings for Jamaica since we can remember. With the departure of the Miss Universe competition from our landscape, this competition will crown our nations one and only beauty queen. With that said…
Time to get excited because we have a home grown queen in our presence who has what it takes to further Jamaica on the international landscape! Usain, Asafa, and Lisa Hanna have all done it but the next person to get us there is none other than Kamila McDonald!
Why...You might ask?
She definitely has the Full Hundred package hands down.
Can she really match up to the qualities required for Miss Jamaica World?
1. Beauty - We’ve uploaded a number of photos…you be the judge!
2. Intelligence - This critical thinking scholar just graduated from Stanford University WITH HONORS. She majored in Communications, minored in French and Spanish, and also converses in Kiswahili and Norwegian!
3. Public Speaking Ability – we see her EVERY week co-hosting “On Stage” with Winford Williams. This has honed her spontaneity, expressive skills, and confidence beyond par.
4. “Beauty with a purpose” – Her experience speaks for itself :
World traveled Kamila McDonald has been a true ambassador for Jamaica during her numerous international journeys. While on scholarship at a college in Norway she was selected as main choreographer for the opening show for the 40th Special Olympics under the patronage of the Queen of Norway and Prince of Japan. Also in Norway she served as volunteer for a weekly refugee support project, which assisted families with livelihood opportunities and community integration. In Poland she was a part of a college youth group that planned and implemented an integration program for blind students.
At Stanford University, Kamila was designer and co-leader of a curriculum and student initiated course called Caribbean Race Relations. She also participated as alto singer in an acapella group for which she was the tour manager during the group’s trip to Jamaica in 2007 where they staged a series of all-island performances.
Towards her Honors Thesis requirement at Stanford, Kamila conducted a research project on the portrayal of Africa in the Western media and its effects on young people of African Descent. The research generated a high level interest and Kamila was invited to South Africa to present the findings of her study at the 5th Annual Youth World Media Summit.
On an interpersonal level, Kamila is a dynamic and visionary mobilizer and manager of people by inspiring ideas and coordinating activities. Having lived in five countries on four continents she has a unique international perspective and multilingual abilities. Kamila’s lifelong ambition is to influence attitudes and improve lives through arts, entertainment, and communication.
**There is no question that if given the chance, this purpose-driven, multi-talented, and socially conscious overachieving beauty would make Jamaica proud. Her image inside and outside is the picture of a genuine black, green and gold Jamaican queen!
