Miss Universe Jamaica Gabrielle Henry has returned to the public eye, six months after sustaining severe injuries during an onstage fall.
The physician and former beauty pageant contestant appeared at the Integrity Children's Fund's Dinner en Rouge Gala in Atlanta on Saturday.
According to People magazine, Henry delivered an emotional speech at the event, which touched on her recovery efforts after her fall at the Miss Universe pageant in November.
Henry was strolling across the stage in a long, flowing orange gown during the contest's preliminary evening gown round in Thailand when the beauty personality suddenly fell off the stage, as seen in social media video of the incident shared at the time.
Henry was quickly hospitalized at a facility in Bangkok.
In a Dec. 8 press release, the Miss Universe Organization and Henry's family revealed that her fall had resulted in an intracranial hemorrhage with loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations and other significant injuries.
