Miss Trinidad and To­ba­go Aché Abra­hams brought the coun­try to the clos­est it's been to the Miss World crown in years.

Abra­hams worked her way through the top 40, top 12, top 8 be­fore she beat Miss Brazil to come out on top of the Amer­i­c­as and the Caribbean re­gion.

Miss Lebanon Yas­mi­na Za­y­toun was the run­ner up and Krysty­na Pyszková of Czech Re­pub­lic won the com­pe­ti­tion.

Abra­hams faced two ques­tion and an­swer seg­ments. She was first asked, "Ac­cord­ing to you, what is the most press­ing is­sue that most work­ing women face, and why?"

She replied, "I have to say it's not a lack of tal­ent or skills, it's a lack of op­por­tu­ni­ties. So I'm grate­ful for Miss World for giv­ing me this plat­form be­cause you're al­low­ing me to fol­low my dreams."

She sent a mes­sage to the girls and boys from the coun­try say­ing, "Your voice is just as pow­er­ful as every­one else's.

In her sec­ond ques­tion she was asked to "pitch" to the Shark Tank In­dia judges why she should win the com­pe­ti­tion.

She said she can of­fer Miss World is the mind­set of the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go.

"In sweet T&T we say may every creed and race find an equal place. I live my life every day with that mot­to, with that mantra. I be­lieve Miss World has a sim­i­lar mantra. I be­lieve when you have com­pas­sion and un­der­stand­ing for dif­fer­ences, you can re­al­ly make a dif­fer­ence in the world and work hand in hand to cre­ate a bright fu­ture. For me I am so ho­n­oured to be here and to share the mind­set of T&T be­cause we can tru­ly make a dif­fer­ence. In Trinidad and To­ba­go we ac­knowl­edge our sim­i­lar­i­ties but more im­por­tant­ly we cel­e­brate our dif­fer­ences. We see the beau­ty in di­ver­si­ty and we pro­mote in­clu­sion."
