More than a model: Abeena Gomes

Wakenaam-born model Abeena Gomes has been strutting the runway for two years professionally, but fashion, entertainment and art are nothing new as she has been doing these things since she was a child, including modelling at numerous school events.

Abeena recently flaunted a fiery Randy Madray’s piece at the Miss World Guyana 2019 Coronation and shared that he has become her favourite designer as she finds that his pieces accentuate her 5’ 7” frame best.

The former Queen’s College student began her academic life at Arthurville Nursery in Wakenaam before transferring to Cornelia Ida on the West Coast. Abeena also attended Leonora Primary, stating that all of these schools prepared her to express herself on stage and inspired her to embrace her passion for fashion.
