Makeup artist and entrepreneur Charity Henry is on her way to St. Maarten/St. Martin to fly the flag for Antigua and Barbuda at the BTA 8th Annual Miss International Elegant Mothers Pageant 2026, scheduled for March 15th.

Henry, a proud mother of two daughters, says she is stepping onto the international stage with a purpose that goes far beyond a crown. She is driven by a desire to be a living example of strength, grace and determination for young girls everywhere — showing them that their potential is limitless and that excellence is within their reach.

Born and raised in Antigua, Henry’s story is one of talent recognised early and nurtured over time. She served as Head Girl at All Saints Secondary School, where her leadership and creative spirit set her apart from her peers. She entered the beauty industry at just thirteen years old, embarking on a journey that has spanned more than a decade of artistry, entrepreneurship and continuous growth.

Her connection to pageantry runs deep. Henry earned the title of Miss Teenage 2017 representing All Saints Secondary School, and in 2022 was crowned Miss Labour Queen, representing Prime Minister the Honourable Gaston Browne and the St. John’s City West constituency.
