My Take
Lisa Hanna's arc is the kind I find genuinely inspiring. Born in Biddeford, Maine, she became the third Jamaican to win Miss World in 1993, but the crown is the least interesting part of her story. She studied at the University of the West Indies and turned pageant fame into public service, sitting in Parliament for Saint Ann South East and serving as Jamaica's Minister of Youth and Culture. I admire anyone who converts the fleeting capital of beauty into something durable like culture and young people's futures. It signals a seriousness and a backbone that the spotlight alone never reveals.
