Nineteen-year-old Ayana Whitehead who is said to be the most prominent Guyanese model of her age continues to dominate the industry.
Whitehead who now resides in St Lucia has been raising eyebrows in the Caribbean and New York with her signature walk.
Late in 2014, Whitehead was featured on the cover of Caribbean Life New York entertainment segment. During the same period she also modelled for the Caribbean, New York fashion week and was also contracted by designers across the New York to do other shows.
The low-cut hair beauty has her faith planted firmly in Christianity and also has a passion for dancing and working with children. Ayana’s favourite quote is “with hope and faith nothing is impossible”
In 2012, Whitehead competed for the Miss Guyana Universe title, where she placed second runner-up.
Just before winging out of St Lucia to compete at the Miss Guyana World Pageant in 2013, Whitehead was once again recognised and she was one of the faces of the St Lucia Fashion Week and was also featured on a billboard as the face of the Rodney Bay Mall, St Lucia.
She was also named the third Princess at the Miss World Guyana Pageant held in May of last year, where she also copped the prizes of best talent and best gown.
After the beauty continued to dominate the catwalk, she was selected to represent Guyana at the Miss Caribes Hibiscus Pageant which was held in St Maarten and featured beauties from all across the Caribbean.
While on the French island, yet again the stunner was recognised for her impeccable catwalk skill. She also made the top 10 cut on the final night of the pageant.
In a recent interview, Whitehead noted that the industry should expect a lot from her in the new year, as she plans to hit the runway by storm. She also disclosed that she is currently in the process of preparing for her first photo shoot of the year.
