Miss China, Alice Li, was crowned Miss Global International 2019 during a glitzy ceremony at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St James on Saturday night. The 25-year-old accountant came out ahead of 19 rivals to walk away with a cash prize of US$3,000 and other awards.

“I am so overwhelmed… It really doesn’t feel real… It’s such an honour to have won the title of Miss Global International 2019,” she told the Jamaica Observer. First runner-up went to Miss San Andres, Yasleth Castillo Nelson, while Miss Jamaica Brithney Clarke finished third. Li also copped two sectional prizes, Best Talent and Most Aware. She said she will use her reign to further her work in volunteerism.

“I have a great passion for volunteerism… all my free time, that’s where it all goes. There are so many amazing community organisations that I work with. I also sit on three hospital boards in my city, so it’s something that has been a part of my lifestyle. Therefore, this is the perfect opportunity to expand on that and give myself a greater voice,” Li disclosed.(Jamaica Observer)…[+]
