Tekyra Richards will represent Antigua and Barbuda at the Belle Mont Resort Haynes Smith Miss Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant later this month. The reigning Miss Teenage Pageant 2025 winner is set to compete on December 29 at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort.

Richards returns to the regional stage following a strong showing during Carnival 2025. During the season, she earned several major awards, including Best Personality, Best Performing Talent and Aspiration. In addition, she received the Leadership Award in the unjudged segment, which recognized her poise, confidence, and overall presentation.

As a result of her consistent performances, Richards enters the competition with growing regional attention. She will compete against eight contestants from across the Caribbean, each representing their respective territories. The competition will feature judged segments such as talent and evening wear, requiring contestants to demonstrate creativity, confidence, and stage presence.

Meanwhile, preparations have intensified as the event draws closer. Richards has continued training and refining her performances, with a focus on delivering strong presentations in each segment. Organizers note that the pageant celebrates not only beauty but also talent, leadership, and personal development among young women.

This year’s participation also marks a continued presence for Antigua and Barbuda on the regional pageant stage. The country is competing in the Miss Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant for the third consecutive year. Last year, Antigua and Barbuda was represented by Miss Teenage 2024 Gabrielle Hamlet, who placed third runner-up.

Consequently, expectations remain high for Richards’ performance. Supporters view her as a strong ambassador for youth leadership and national pride. Her participation reflects the growing emphasis on empowering young women through cultural and developmental platforms.

As the December 29 competition approaches, anticipation continues to build across Antigua and Barbuda. Richards is expected to showcase her talent, confidence, and commitment as she represents the nation on a regional stage.
