Entrepreneur & certified fitness trainer

Baptiste-Henry was crowned Mrs British Virgin Islands Curvé, as outgoing ambassador Sabrina J. Penn officially passed on her title.

A dynamic entrepreneur and certified fitness trainer, the new Mrs BVI Curve co-owns Alpha Fitness VI, a wellness company dedicated to transforming lives across the Virgin Islands and the wider Caribbean. In her role as marketing manager, she also supports the professional journey of her husband, bodybuilder Jermaine Henry.

Community advocate

A 30-year-old Virgin Islander, Herbert is a passionate community advocate whose work focuses on uplifting women, children, and families. Her dedication to service spans more than a decade, including 11 years with the Rotaract Club of Tortola, where she served as Treasurer. She is also the founder of Helping Hands Org, a nonprofit initiative providing essential baby items and groceries to mothers in need — a mission inspired by her own experiences and commitment to ensuring no mother faces hardship alone.

In collaboration with the BVI Health Services Authority, Herbert supports initiatives aimed at strengthening the breastfeeding community and is a trained Lactation Counselor, offering guidance and advocacy for maternal and child health.

A former pageant titleholder, she proudly represented the Virgin Islands at the Miss Earth International Pageant, reflecting her values of sustainability, compassion, and service.

Bisa D. Smith remains Mrs BVI Classique

Meanwhile, Bisa D. Smith will continue her reign as Mrs British Virgin Islands Classique, maintaining her ambassadorial presence within the organisation.

The event not only highlighted the achievements of its titleholders but also reinforced WINBVI’s mission to uplift and support women throughout the territory.
