Dominica Wins Miss Caribbean Culture Again
Dominica wins Miss Caribbean Culture once agian!!!
A Dominican beauty walked away with the third annual Miss Caribbean Culture Title for the second year in succession.
Marah Walter was crowned by the show’s 2007 queen Leandra Lander, with the assistance of Premier of Nevis Joseph Parry, at the Nevis Cultural Complex Saturday.
Walters expressed her excitement about her first win outside of Dominica…
“I was very, very thrilled. I knew I had worked hard for this pageant and I am just reaping the fruits of what I had sown. I am very grateful to God especially for guiding me through this pageant because I knew without him I would not have made it. I am very pleased, very happy that I have made my country proud,” she said.
This year’s Culturama contest brought together participants from the United States Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Antigua, St. Vincent, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Anguilla and host country Nevis. Ms. Walter said she was very pleased with the idea of integration.
“I love the idea of integration and I am very pleased that the Caribbean was finding alternate ways of integrating not only through Caricom and the CSME but through pageantry.
“I want to commend the committee for the Miss Caribbean Culture Pageant. I know they are very young but it shows that our youth are developing themselves and the interest in young people. I want to tell them to continue with the good work,” she said.
Minister of Culture in the Nevis Island Administration Hensley Daniel encouraged the participants to find time to savour the cuisine and pristine beauty of Nevis and also to be mindful that the pageant could help them to broaden their horizons and develop a more informed perspective of the Caribbean.
He also commended the show’s Chief Executive Officer Randy Jeffers and his team for having had the confidence to translate (plans) through into action.
Jeffers was pleased with the outcome of the pageant…
“I looked at the show and I think the judging was fabulous, it was fairly judged. The patronage was much better than last year, it is growing,” he said.
The contestants competed in island wear and promotional speech; swimwear, talent and evening wear and interview.
