Tiasha is a very passionate and purpose driven young lady who aspires to become a financial advisor, motivational speaker, and aid in the improvement of society and the economy. She loves helping others and watching them bloom successfully. She believes that one of God's plans for her life is to make positive impacts on others. She was a proud participant in the Junior Achievement program where she held the position of Vice President of Finance, a member of The Bahamas Youth Leadership Development Program, the co-leader of the Jags Dance Club, the former head girl of St. Georges High School, and the current queen of her island. She truly values the importance of positive leadership which is why she spends her free time learning and developing herself into the remarkable leader that she hopes to become. These leadership roles have not been earned only for personal benefits, but because of the desire she has to be an inspiration to her peers; thus, her platform being “Youth Empowerment”. She says that her crown as Miss Grand Bahama, and hopefully the next Miss Universe Bahamas, is used as a microphone to ensure that other young people are inspired to know that they can become positive leaders no matter how young they are and with whatever skills they have to bring forth to the table. Tiasha Lewis is indeed a remarkable young leader in our beautiful Bahama Land.
