After coming close to winning the 2022 Miss Jamaica World pageant, Tahje Bennett finally gets her crowning moment.
Bennett, a 25-year-old soon-to-be law school student and Spanish Town native, succeeds Shanique Singh as the new Miss Jamaica. Jamila McGowan earned the runner-up spot, while Shanelle Kellyman got second runner-up during the coronation ceremony at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston.

Bennett also won the Beauty With a Purpose fast-track competition for her Fix Your Crown initiative. She insists she will use her reign to advocate for women who have suffered at the hands of domestic and other gender-based violence.
Next up for Bennett is to represent Jamaica at the 72nd Miss World pageant in February 2025
