Queen of Carnival 2025, Kia Kirwan will represent Antigua and Barbuda at the Miss Essence and Mind International Swimsuit Pageant 2025.

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.
