You sound very demoralised. There’s a lot going on which makes us very proud as Dominicans. Lesassa’s growing success is one of them. Perhaps you have lots to deal with. Don’t worry. Stay safe and pray. God bless
Jealousy is an ugly thing, what’s happening ? Can you read ?
all those 54 dislikes are retarded robots. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
We know this is lots of hard work. It has paid off big time.
So in other news…. There are things going on in the world that needs more attention than some stupid pageant..
So you would prefer to hear some depressing, embarrassing news that disgraces our country than to compliment this young lady on her achievement, and support her endeavours to put Dominica out there even more.
Why Dominicans have this attitude? You all stupid!!
Leslassa i support you all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not be a party pooper. I wonder, what is your life’s enjoyment? It is a diversion to make us forget our troubles and to concentrate on other things, to smile and laugh and to wish her well for her effort.
you must be a blue or blue upset
Hun i am not blue, i am just over the pageant… You guys acting like she gonna win, i mean reallyy…
Which village is she from?
Dominica! Ha!
Morne Bruce
Stupid question
If u want to know soo bad. she from goodhope
Where have you been? Have you been asleep all this while? Have you not read about her on DNO?
To ensure that Leslassa ends up in the final 6, you must vote on the iPhone or Android app (search for “Miss World” on the Apple app store or…
If it means Dominicans have to vote to put her in the top 6, . . she out.
We just don’t have the numbers compared to the others
She is already number 7 without many Dominicans voting. If we can get everyone that can vote in Dominica to vote we can get her to number 1!
Please send some positive vibes Lesassa’s way. Dominicans all over the world is!!
Sorry, correction – Dominicans all over the world ‘Are’
