PRESENTERS 2025
The mission of The Global Beauty Awards (TGBA) is to bring awareness to the pageant community and highlight the excellence of those involved. TGBA is your opportunity to become an official member to celebrate and elevate those that have or will be nominated worldwide. Exterior beauty has often been the focal point, but those involved can tell you first hand that pageantry is one of the greatest experiences for building confidence, speaking abilities, and learning how to properly network in professional settings. Pageant participants have become extremely successful as entrepreneurs in business, medicine, engineering, sports, television, movies, entertainment and so much more. TGBA earned 2025 Gold Honors with AVA Digital Awards for its Social Impact.
TWO 2024 Global Beauty Award Walk Off contestants represent on the Miss USA stage next week!

🌍 Kerry Damiano — 7× GBA Winner & Ms. World Traveler
Recently on WTVM, Kerry joined the conversation to talk about embracing exactly where you are in life, and doing it with joy.
Today, there are more single people than ever — and Kerry highlights the powerful distinction between being alone and being lonely.
