Kingston, Jamaica — In a dazzling display of beauty, talent, and commitment to social causes, Rachel Silvera was crowned Miss Universe Jamaica 2024 at a captivating ceremony held at the AC Hotel Kingston on Monday morning. The 25-year-old pharmacy student and entrepreneur from St. Mary was awarded the prestigious title by her predecessor, Dr. Jordanne Lauren Levy, and received her sash from Miss Universe 2023, Sheynnis Palacios.

Silvera’s journey to the crown has been marked by her unwavering dedication to environmental advocacy. As the founder of Footprints Jamaica, Silvera has championed sustainable urbanization projects aimed at creating greener, more resilient communities. Her platform focuses on integrating eco-friendly practices into urban development, a cause she passionately discussed during her campaign.

Silvera’s win marks a remarkable turn of events for the pageant, as she previously secured the position of first runner-up in the 2022 competition. Her return to the Miss Universe Jamaica stage with a renewed vision and commitment to her causes has clearly resonated with the judges and the public alike.

Sara-Jade Kow, a 30-year-old real estate professional, was named the first runner-up, while Keri-Ann Greenwood, representing Miss Universe Jamaica East, took the second runner-up spot. Their performances highlighted the diverse talents and aspirations of Jamaican women across various fields.

The Miss Universe 2024 pageant, set to be held in Mexico later this year, will mark the first time since 2007 that the event is hosted in a North American republic. Silvera’s participation in this prestigious international competition is expected to further elevate Jamaica’s presence on the global stage.
