Mr. Kemp states that he is
“looking forward to representing The Bahamas proudly at Mr. World.
I feel that I truly embody the characteristics for which the competition
is known, namely identifying that man in the world who can best show
his ‘strength, stamina, mental agility and determination to succeed
in the face of adversity’. I am confident that I will do my best.
I wish to thank the local Miss Bahamas World organization, Michelle
Malcolm, and Macumbla Smith who has stepped in to assist with training
and choreography and, of course, my family, Mode Iles and Mr. Owen Bethel
for their support.”
