As the winner of Miss Queen Teen Calgary and Miss Queen Teen Canada, Khaliah Anousha Mitha will represent our country as Miss Preteen Universe Canada at the Teen Universe International Pageant. Not one to ignore an opportunity to use her platform, this pageant queen, performer and model has made advocacy against food insecurity central to her life and message. Just 16 years old, she’s already devoted time and energy donating to or volunteering with the Hillhurst United Church Food Pantry, the Mustard Seed and World Food Day. For the past two years, she’s organized the Back to School Snack Drive with Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids, helping secure thousands of healthy snacks for children across Calgary.
“I think the biggest problem with food insecurity is the fact that there’s a lot of disparity [between] different countries.”
