“I feel loved with all that’s been happening since my win. This is all new and I’m excited,” said an elated Akeila Handy, this year’s Miss Mash Queen.
The 19-year-old student, who bested five other young women, is currently pursuing studies towards becoming a pharmacy computer technician and phlebotomist at Computer World.
Akeila, who hails from Half Mile, Wismar, Linden is no stranger to pageantry; she won her first title in 2018 when she competed in the Miss Silvercity Secondary School pageant. She is also the current reigning Miss Linden Teen Ambassador.
