Newly-crowned Carnival Queen, Adicia Burton who represented the Kalinago Territory has called for the resurgence of indigenous and African history at all school levels in Dominica.<\/p>\n

Burton, who is a former Carnival Princess, outperformed four other competitors to secure that title at the show which took place at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium Forecourt last night.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old copped the awards for Best Performing Talent and Best Response to Question.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I really wanted to see the resurgence of our indigenous and African history at all school levels, because I feel that this is important in building the momentum for reparatory justice and simply knowing our history really unites us as a people,\u201d she said during an interview with former Miss Dominica, Leandra Lander shortly after her win. \u201cAnd secondly, a reading program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burton continued, \u201cI think that reading touches every aspect of human life, we have to be able to do math, we have to be able to read and under the equations, in science, you have to understand all the concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n

She revealed that her favourite round of the competition was the \u2018talent round\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the song that I performed really spoke to me and what I was feeling and the message that I wanted to bring out,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

Burton said she was \u201cextremely thankful\u201d and \u201cgrateful\u201d for everything that has happened.<\/p>\n

She was sponsored by Petro Caribe.<\/p>\n

The first runner-up position went to Sandrin Elizee of Kingshill. She won prizes for Miss Photogenic, Best National Spectacular Wear, and Best in National Spectacular Wear.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Tarnia Eugene who represented Grandbay secured the second runner-up. She grabbed the awards for Best in Evening Wear, Miss Amity, Best Swimwear, and Best in Swimwear.<\/p>\n

Best Evening Wear Prize went to Meeya Francis of Canefield.<\/p>\n

Contestant Moesha Thomas represented Petite Soufriere.<\/p>\n
