Congrats Jeraine. You did a splendid job. God has blessed you with some special talent. Keep working hard. The sky is your limit. This was a very good show and Ms. Charlene White-Christian and her team must be congratulated for doing a splendid job. This show is way better organized than the National Princess Show.
Congratulations to all the participants in that pageant. You all did your best. The show was of a high standard. Hats off to the organisers, schools , parents.
Why so much make-up on these young princesses? We must teach them to enjoy their beautiful black natural skin.
