Beauty Beyond What Meets the Eye

Join us for an inspiring, elegant evening at Island SPACE Caribbean Museum as we host a Fireside Chat with Dr. Gabrielle Henry, Miss Universe Jamaica 2025.

Far from the traditional pageant queen, Dr. Henry is a medical doctor specializing in ophthalmology, a trained performing artist, and a passionate advocate for the visually impaired. She embodies the balance of science, creativity, and service while actively redefining what it means to be a modern woman of influence.

In this intimate conversation, Dr. Henry will share her journey to the Miss Universe stage, her groundbreaking advocacy for accessibility and inclusion, and her vision of beauty that goes beyond what meets the eye.

Guests will enjoy the opportunity to engage in Q&A, take photos, and be inspired by Dr. Henry’s grace and authenticity.

The discussion will be moderated by Island SPACE Executive Director Calibe Thompson.
