Dominican, Samirah Joseph, has emerged winner in the first annual Miss Caribbean USA, Boston, MA Beauty Pageant held on the weekend.

She outperformed five other contestants representing Grenada, Honduras, Haiti and two from Trinidad to take home the crown.

She wowed the crowd in the first round, Cultural Wear, as she gracefully commanded the stage wearing her Wob Dwiyet.  For talent, she gave a taste of the Caribbean by playing popular reggae, calypso, soca and cadence choices on her flute.

Other appearances were in swim wear and evening wear.

Miss Grenada was the first runner up while the second runner up position went to one of the representatives from Trinidad.

Joseph is a former Miss Dominica Teenage Pageant  Queen (2006) and Miss Monroe College (New Rochelle, NY) Queen (2011).  She is the daughter of  Syra Lloyd and Michael Joseph and niece of Mamah Joseph.

The show was held at the Media Arts Center, Roxbury Community College, Boston, MA.

    It took one pea to make the king’s bed uncomfortable for him to take his pleasure rest

    likewise it only took one bad egg to spoils the rest of the nest- so it appears with the negative comments —

    If you all have not yet learn the simple moral code- “If you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all!” READ THIS CAREFULLY -before you write anything, respond to anyone, and conduct your life in the public spere-

    This is an oppotunity for “ONE OF US” – Dominican- to shine. Let this be Samirah Joseph time. Please keep it simple and clean. Congratulations! Yahoo! Beautiful! God Bless!

    Love U SJ.

    Great Job girl. We have great talent in Dominica.
    PS. Miss Grenada who placed third has dominican roots as her father is dominican.

      What is wrong with you? You scrutinized her face to the core. I did not even notice. As the saying, “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”

      If you read the article properly you will see what contest it was, then make a proper comment.

      When you learn to read instead of only looking at the pictures (like a grade school child), then come back to comment on DNO!

        I had to laugh at your comment. Were you sleeping and just awoke, making you confused that you do not know where you are, what you are reading or what you are doing?

      Well yes! Some of us well dumb eh! Magwaysa! The young lady was Miss Teenage Pageant in 2006 so you expect her to be a teenager today? And what the heck does politics have to come into this? Go read a book!

    • Icansee
      August 12, 2013

      That is such a foolish, silly, stupid comment. What has a beauty pageant in Boston Mass. USA got to do with politics, or maybe you mean the Govt where she is. That would make your comment more stupid.

      I think you need to start minding your business…. what does her mother’s surname have to do with that??? And for your info she is not all about beauty she has the brains to go with it as well.. Making the deans list a few times..

      She has graduated from university already,with 1st class honors. She also carried the Dominican flag at her graduation. I think its safe to say that she has and still is learning quite well. Her parents divorce has nothing to do with her life as a beautiful, talented and intelligent young woman. Soooooo with that said. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! :)
