New Miss Guyana Talented Teen ready to embrace her role as queen

Aliya and her mother at the Mother and Daughter Pageant in 2011

Always drawn to pageants and probably seeing herself in the beautiful women with the tiaras perched on their heads the recently crowned Miss Guyana Talented Teen has quickly accepted her role as a queen and vows to use her new role effectively.

“I accept the fact that I am queen and I’m proud of being Miss Guyana Talented Teen 2016,” were the words of the gorgeous Aliya Wong during an interview with The Scene.

Her recent walk on the national stage was not the first in this arena. In 2011, the new queen and her mother competed in Mother and Daughter Pageant and copped the second place position. Since then she has been drawn to pageantry and recalls sitting in front of the television with family members cheering on her favourite contestants for the Miss Universe and Miss World pageants. And so it came naturally when her sister encouraged her to enter the Miss Guyana Talented Teen pageant.
