After a 10-year absence, the Bartica Miss Emancipation Pageant took centre stage on Monday at the Bartica Community Centre Ground and Tytheon Jones, an aspiring psychologist, walked away with the crown.
The pageant formed part of Bartica’s week of Emancipation activities, which was held under the theme “Embracing the motherland, with the Embodiment of the African Culture”.
The event, intended to honour the legacy of strong, trailblazing women throughout history, was divided into three segments. These were a talent segment, a casual wear segment, and the highly anticipated evening gown segment.
