Jackeima Flemming was crowned Miss University of the Virgin Islands 2021-2022 at the 41st Annual Miss UVI Ambassadorial Virtual Competition held on Saturday, April 24, 2021, on St. Thomas after competing against three other contestants. “I am absolutely elated and honored to have been crowned with the honorific title of goodwill ambassador to UVI. The journey was nothing short of amazing and I am excited to continue being of service to my University,” Flemming said.
“I feel that God has truly blessed me with the opportunity to attend UVI. I am a first-generation university attendee and UVI is helping me make my dreams come true and is empowering me to break generation curses, serve my family and the wider community. I couldn't ask for anything more,” continued Flemming.
In addition to the crown, Flemming captured three of the seven judged segments: Most Intellectual Speaker, Best Performing Talent, and Best Ambassadorial Presentation. Currently, a sophomore majoring in marketing, she plans to further her education by earning a master’s in Public Administration and a Ph.D. in Creative Leadership for Innovation and Change, all at the University of the Virgin Islands. She will use her skills as a marketing major to promote her platform “NICHE Disability Awareness Foundation”. “I founded this non-profit organization 6 years ago with the hope that our charitable efforts would help bridge the gap in our society between the abled and disable,” said Flemming.
