King’s Coun­ty Hos­pi­tal, Brook­lyn, New York, wel­comed a ba­by girl on Christ­mas morn­ing of 1997 named Tya Jané Ramey. A cou­ple of months lat­er, her moth­er re­turned to Trinidad and To­ba­go, and with the vi­brant com­mu­ni­ty of Five Rivers, raised a beau­ti­ful all-round­ed and elo­quent young woman that is to­day our Miss World Trinidad and To­ba­go Rep­re­sen­ta­tive.
