Miss Grand Liberia was a national female beauty pageant in Liberia, headquartered in Monrovia.[1][2][3] The competition was established in 2021[4] by Velegar Curry, a Liberian American based in Charlotte.[5] The winner of the pageant was designated to represent Liberia at the affiliated international competition, Miss Grand International.[4][6][7]
Since the inception of Miss Grand International, Liberia has participated only once, in 2021, when Hajamaya Mulbah represented the country;[8][9] she did not achieve placement among the finalists.[10]
After obtaining the Miss Grand International license for Liberia in 2021, Velegar Curry launched applications for the national competition in June of that year, with the contest initially scheduled for August 2021.[1] Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event—featuring nine national finalists—was instead conducted virtually through the Zoom platform. The title was originally awarded to Goretti Itoka, a social media marketing strategist and former Miss Mano River Union;[4][8] however, she was dethroned one month later and replaced by fellow finalist Hajamaya Mulbah.[6][7][8][9]
