Seven beauties from around the Eastern Caribbean community competed for the Miss OECS title in Dominica on Saturday night. The Pageant came out of a hiatus of two years in 2019 when five ladies competed for the covetous title, at the time, last secured by the Pageant’s home country, Dominica.
The contestants of this year’s Miss OECS Pageant were:
- Celine Hodge (Anguilla)
- Keriann Thomas (Antigua)
- Shannon St. Hilaire (Dominica)
- Reesa Mcintosh (Grenada)
- Keya Providence (St Vincent and the Grenadines)
- Kejean Smith (Saint Lucia)

The Pageant winner, Keriann Thomas, was born on November 25 2000, in Antigua.
As a teenager, she graced the halls of the Pares Secondary School and the Antigua State College. She achieved academic excellence through hard work and immense effort by earning a degree in Accounting.
As a lover of adventure, Keriann was motivated to enter the field of law enforcement at an early age and with this in mind and a desire to serve and protect, she enrolled at the Sir Wright F George Police Academy and began the journey towards becoming a caretaker and protector of liberty and Justice for Antiguans and Barbudans.
With focus, dedication and a passion for learning, she conquered all obstacles and became a police officer on October 15 2021, and on June 30 2022, she graduated from the Sir Wright F George Police Academy.
She is presently stationed at the All Saints Police Station in the C division, where she continues to learn and hone her skills in policing.
Keriann is no stranger to the world of pageantry. She captured the title of Miss Show off in 2018 and has entered the Miss Teenage and Miss Labour pageants.
This young woman understands the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle while nurturing her creative side; therefore, she involves herself in several worthwhile activities, including exercising, dancing, modelling, and Yoga.
Keriann believes in the power of young women, and as a young female police officer, she knows that she has to rise and stand out as a shining example to young women throughout the nation and the region.
She knows that she must ensure that her commitment and dedication to policing be paramount.
Keriann is poised, ready and focused on the prize, that is, to stand in her truth and defend it, thereby stamping her name in the sands of time as a trailblazer for truth, honesty, fairness and justice for all.
This is her pledge to herself and her nation. She is No. 137 Constable Keriann Kemisia Thomas.
