For Shontonia, taking loads of photos and wearing her
aunt’s heels around the house since she owned none
of her own, also motivated her to take a journey along
this path.
Having gained some exposure through pageantry,
Shontonia’s vision for pageantry for herself is simple:
to go as far as she possibly can, to help put Barbados
on the map, because she’s not only representing
herself or family and friends but an entire country's
name which she wears proudly upon her sash.
Q&A with Shontonia Hall:
Q: What are your greatest achievements in terms of
your competition?
A: My greatest achievement thus far was going to
Germany last December for the Miss Intercontinental
pageant to go up against sixty other girls and winning
the Miss Intercontinental Congeniality which is an
award the contestants vote on for the friendliest girl.
Q: As a contestant, what would you say are your
greatest challenges?
A: I'm just too short. I'm not one to get intimidated by
others but being amongst such tall ladies is my biggest
challenge. Then it's not getting to eat what I want
because I have to keep in shape. Lastly, being very
careful how I carry myself, places I go and people I'm
surrounded by because I have an image to uphold .
