“I am extremely elated and proud of my achievement.”
Newly crowned Mother’s Queen, Delma Daniel, uttered those words shortly after she had outshone five other contestants to win the title at the show held at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium forecourt on Saturday night.
The 38-year-old won the awards for best performing talent, best in swimwear and best response to question.
Daniel told Dominica News Online (DNO) during an interview that she had confidence in herself and believed the performing talent and question & answer segment gave her the edge.
She encouraged any mother who wants to participate in the Mother’s Queen Show to go for it.
“You learn so much from the experience,” she stated.
Daniel is a clerk at the Pichelin Village Council.

Well done Selma, but they are all beautiful women. Nice costumes, and high quality organising go DA.
Congratulations to the women. Its not easy to have children especially an adult male and still show off your body on stage. What i would never have the courage to do you done. Congratulations.
This girl knows that she didnt deserve that crown. Veda is the Queen crown or NOT. What a volay that was.
Come on man, the girl deserved her crown. She was consistent as well as Veda. Veda messed up in the question and answer round. She (Veda) should have been placed 1st runner up.
