Delegate #1 for this year’s 2024 Miss Belize Rural - QOTB is Deanni Janae Laing, a multi-talented and humorous young lady proudly representing Western Paradise Village. At just 22 years old, Deanni has carved a remarkable path for herself. Ms. Laing successfully completed her High-school diploma in Industrial Studies at Edward P. Yorke, and later on pursued an Associates Degree in Business Science and her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration - Marketing at the well known University of Belize. Ms. Laing has been recognized as the Youth Entrepreneur of the Year 2021 by the Department of Youth Services - National Youth Awards, and as the Most Outstanding Youth Entrepreneur by The Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI).

Deanni’s academic and community achievements became the foundation of her greater pursuits as she stepped into the realm of entrepreneurship as a content creator in her own business, 5 Minutes with Dee, where she gives back to her community by sharing user-friendly information about entrepreneurship and content creation.
As Ms. Laing embarks on this journey as a delegate of Miss Belize Rural 2024, she hopes to inspire young individuals to work towards accomplishing their dreams, she believes that “your greatest cheerleader or limitation is YOU! So, be positive, be respectful, be selfless, and go for your dreams.” - Deanni Jannae Laing.
