Charity Henry, an accomplished makeup artist and business owner from Antigua and Barbuda, has been officially selected as the national representative for the upcoming BTA 8th Annual Miss International Elegant Mothers Pageant. The prestigious event is scheduled to take place on March 15, 2026, in the dual-nation island of St. Maarten/St. Martin.
Beyond the glamour of the competition, Henry brings a profound personal mission to the international stage. As a mother of two daughters, she aims to leverage this platform to demonstrate the powerful combination of maternal strength, professional confidence, and unwavering determination. Her participation transcends the pursuit of a crown, focusing instead on inspiring the next generation of young women to pursue their dreams relentlessly.
Henry’s journey to the international pageant stage is rooted in a distinguished history of leadership and beauty industry expertise. A native Antiguan, she first exhibited her leadership capabilities as Head Girl at All Saints Secondary School. Her entrepreneurial spirit emerged early when she entered the beauty sector at just 13 years old, subsequently cultivating a thriving career that spans over a decade in both makeup artistry and business development.
Her pageant pedigree includes significant prior achievements, having claimed the Miss Teenage 2017 title while representing her secondary school. She further solidified her pageant prowess by winning the Miss Labour Queen 2022 crown while representing Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the St. John’s City West constituency, demonstrating her deep connections to both community and national leadership.
