Special Episode, with Jennifer Hosten, Miss World 1970

February 11, 2025 • Oakville Chamber of Commerce • Season 5 • Episode 6

We’re thrilled to welcome a very special guest to the podcast today: Jennifer Hosten, who made history as the first woman of colour to be crowned Miss World in 1970. Her victory took place during the height of the women’s liberation movement in the United Kingdom.

Jennifer’s remarkable journey is brought to life in the feature film Misbehaviour, which will be screened this month in celebration of Black History Month by the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton.

In this episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Jennifer to discuss her groundbreaking win, her experience with the film, the incredible achievements she’s pursued since her time as Miss World, and much more.
