“Ain’t running from myself no more”… this was my song choice for talent at @missworld. This song represented finding my voice and finding my light in the darkness. I’m so grateful that I was chosen top 23 for talent and even though I didn’t make it all the way, I’m so proud of myself because never in a million years would I think I’d be singing for the judges at @missworld ☺️ I still struggle with stage fright but one day I’ll be able to sing in front of people like I sing to myself. This is your sign to not hold yourself back and be brave to try new things and express yourself. Sending love to you! 🤗 #mw #missworld #missworld71 #71mw #india #beautywithapurpose #bwap #incredibleindia For all the latest news follow @missworld official instagram
So I got a new mic😊. I’ve been fighting a cold for weeks and lost my voice but I’ve been wanting to get back to singing for a while now so here’s a new cover. Hope you enjoy Back to black – Amy Winehouse

Thank you to Lost Tribe and the amazing @solangegovia for this masterpiece that made our Miss World Trinidad and Tobago, Aché Abrahams an absolute standout at the Miss World International Pageant!
#Herstory behind the costume by Solange Govia:
When I think of modern mas pioneers like Jason Griffith and bands like the Belmont Battalion, their different details to the unique dances that were born out of the the traditional King Sailor, I feel it’s important to commemorate the Golden Era of Sailor Mas portrayals: acknowledging the sophistication, vibrancy and power of this mas character.
I also started thinking about being a woman in the Carnival industry, and the fact that is also my duty to always honour our womanhood in these sacred traditions. I always want my costumes to remind people that there will always be a place and space for female representation in mas, and I am grateful that Val allowed me this amazing creative opportunity to challenge my design instincts, to inject this sense of femininity and grace into this design, and to just create freely.
From the embellished hat, to the towering collar, to the classic stick, I wanted to pay homage to the opulence that the Sailor Mas experience brings to the streets of Port of Spain. Of course, there had to be a design twist in this Fancy Sailor – the sand-coloured feathered skirt that replaced the bell-bottom pants, to not only represent the first visit of British, French and American naval ships in our nation’s history, but to also highlight where the Caribbean Sea meets the T&T shoreline. For me, it is this simple reminder that through every storm, women have become ‘the glue’ to the Carnival experience. We bring these powerful elements together to define our legacy, and we will always be pivotal in pushing the winds of change forward.”

We just had the opportunity to film our profile videos at the Ashok hotel ☺️. Of course I spoke about sweet T&T and how blessed we are with rich culture to share and connect with people all around the world. I also shared about my creative passions (singing, writing and painting) and my dedication to be an agent of positive change in the world. Stay tuned to see this one of a kind experience unfold at @missworld 🌎💙

So I walked to the immigration line in the Indira Gandhi International airport and locked eyes with this beautiful lady wearing her sash proudly and we simultaneously screamed in excitement like we’ve been best friends for years 😂🥰. The sisterhood is real at @missworld. We spent the entire car ride to the Ashok hotel laughing so much, sharing stories about our countries and learning each others languages. Go check out my lovely friend Miss Iraq @balsam_hussin, she is amazing, funny and kind hearted 🇮🇶🇹🇹🇮🇳🌎💙. I have a great feeling we’ll be friends for a very very long time 🥰

Carnival to the 🌎. Sweet T&T to the 🌎!!! Thank you so much for this amazing costume designed by the incredibly talented @solangegovia.

What an honour to be featured on today’s women empowerment magazine in @ttguardian wearing this stunning Indian wear designed by my national director @charulochandass ☺️✨. As the time gets closer to joining my Miss World sisters in incredible India, I’m over the moon to share the close ties our beautiful country T&T shares with India. We are known as the melting pot of cultures as we proudly sing in our national anthem “may every creed and race find an equal place.” Our Indian heritage met many different cultural ties from around the world to create the diverse culture that we have today. I feel like I’ll be arriving in my second home soon for @missworld 🌎🇮🇳💙
