Valierie Alcide to represent Haiti at Miss World 2023

01 Feb 2024 | Priya Bhardwaj

Valierie Alcide, the bald and bold beauty queen from Haiti, is all set to represent her country at Miss World 2023. She was elected Miss World Haiti 2023 in October 2023 and has been, ever since, using her voice and her platform to advocate for serious causes that affect Haiti.

As Miss World Haiti, Alcide has worked on a project called ‘New Beginning’ that touches a good cause and she will present it at BWAP competition. In 2017, she had the chance to work with women from prison on a project called, ‘Saint Peter's Guard’, written by Darline Gilles who describes the reality of women who are imprisoned in the country.

 

 

“These women suffer a lot, and it was really difficult for them to start integrating into society because after they come out of prison, they are also put aside as if no one has the right to make a mistake. For myself, I came to understand the reality better, after having a close friend of mine who was imprisoned. I understand that life becomes meaningless for them, I also understand how society puts them aside. That's why my social project in Miss World is called ‘New Beginning’”, she wrote.

Not new to the pageant world, Alcide at 23 years of age, was crowned Miss Grand Haiti 2018. She represented her country at Miss Grand International 2018 but failed to place in the Top 20. However, her international pageant experience will now come handy as she prepares to represent her country yet again at an esteemed platform such as Miss World.

 

 

On being designated Miss World Haiti 2023, Alcide took to her official social media as she shared her happiness and excitement, “With a heart full of joy and purpose, I am so excited to share that I am the new Miss World Haiti 2023. As I embarked on this journey, I will carry Haiti name on my shoulders every single minutes. Lord, Thank you for this opportunity. Without you, I won’t be there. Thank you for this energy you pour into me to always go further and chase my dreams, no matter what it takes. Let’s go Haiti, the world is yours!”

The 71st edition of Miss World 2023 will be held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India on 9th March 2024 where Miss Earth 2021 Karolina Bielawska of Poland will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.
