Annieka is deeply involved in outreach work in Canada and has plans to extend her philanthropic efforts to support youth in Jamaica. She discusses the importance of empowering young people across the island and her preparations for the upcoming Mrs. Universe competition in South Korea, including the sponsorships needed to make it possible.
