Miss Teen Bahamas to compete in Miss Global Teen 2010

NASSAU, May 18 - Representing the beautiful and picturesque 700 islands of the Bahamas in the first edition of Miss Global Teen is 17-year-old Shamika Rolle. This 1.73 m-tall Bahamian beauty is currently a senior student at one of her country's most prestigious educational institutions, Kingsway Academy. She plans to complete a Masters degree in Law with a minor is Mass Communications.

As a teen beauty ambassador for the Bahamas, Shamika has been involved in various community activities and volunteer work which has brought awareness to several social ills including HIV/AIDS, Peer Pressure, Abstinence & Teenage pregnancy, Violence against women, Cancer, Autism in children, and so much more. Miss Teen Bahamas also played an active role to send immediate food and clothes to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

An active student, peer motivator, runway model and trainer dancer, Shamika is truly a well rounded individual.

Looking forward to competing in Brazil, Shamika says, "the Bahamas is renowned for our beautiful beaches, its exquisite dishes, vibrant culture, and the warmth of its hospitable people. I intend to only to bring a fare of my country's culture, but I also anticipate making a bold statement in the international pageant arena that the Bahamas is capable of making an indelible mark on the international pageant scene - equipped with the right tools to secure another international teen title".

Shamika is being prepared for the upcoming Miss Global Teen pageant by organizers of the Bahamas' largest and most successful teen pageant; Theodore Elyett's Miss Teen Bahamas Organization. Shamika is excited about capturing the title of Miss Global Teen, which will be the 7th international title garnered by this organization, and perhaps, the most important one.
