Miss World 2019: Jamaica's Toni-Ann Singh crowned Miss World 2019

She was crowned Miss World 2019 — and she’s looking to do a world of good.

Jamaica’s Toni-Ann Singh took the title on Saturday, promising to use her forum to help women and their children, Reuters reported.

The 23-year-old Florida State University graduate said her pageant win is “so much more” than about vanity.

Singh, who sang a version of the late singer Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” in the competition, received her crown from last year’s winner, Vanessa Ponce of Mexico.

“The fact that Miss World is won by a black person is very, very significant to us because it represents a lot in terms of our culture, in terms of how far the world has moved on,” said audience member Christine McDermott, who lives in London.
