Kia Kirwan to Compete in Miss Essence and Mind International Pageant
Queen of Carnival 2025, Kia Kirwan will represent Antigua and Barbuda at the Miss Essence and Mind International Swimsuit Pageant 2025.
The event is scheduled for October 25 at the Aleeze Convention Hall in St Maarten.
The international competition will bring together delegates from multiple countries to showcase what organizers describe as not only beauty, but confidence, culture, and national charisma. The event operates under the theme “United in Essence, Strong in Mind.”
Kirwan joins several other Caribbean representatives in the competition, including Jasmin Jade Ruan from Anguilla, Kadijah Mulley from St. Kitts, and Kimberly Sattur from Guyana. Haiti will be represented by Florancia Casseus, while the United States has selected Malakya Wiggerton for the international contest.
