Miss Guyana Niketa Barker continues to amaze us all… Last evening she was featured in an ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT report. Click the link below to watch or copy and paste it in your browser.
When Miss Guyana Niketa Barker, 24, was a teenager she and her family had to figure out how to start all over after escaping a home fire.
“I grew up in a small town,” Niketa told ET’s Nischelle Turner. “I lost my home in a fire when I was 15 years old. We lost everything. We were unable to save anything. Everyone ran out of the house with no shoes on their feet.”
Two years after the fire, Niketa lost her father in “an extremely traumatic event,” according to the Miss Universe website, but today she is two years away from obtaining a degree in Medicine & Surgery from the University of Guyana.
“It’s part of our curriculum to deliver 12 babies,” she said. “The most amazing part for me is when the baby is first born and before he or she takes that first breath. That moment of silence — that’s the most amazing part for me.”
