The state­ment quot­ed Charu Lochan Dass, Na­tion­al Pageant Di­rec­tor and Fran­chise Hold­er who said her vi­sion is to pro­duce the best pos­si­ble del­e­gates to rep­re­sent Trinidad and To­ba­go on an in­ter­na­tion­al plat­form and cre­ate role mod­els for so­ci­ety.

This ob­vi­ous­ly was achieved by sheer hard work and train­ing. Our 17 fi­nal­ists went through six weeks of train­ing with the likes of Richard Young who taught them Chore­og­ra­phy and De­port­ment; Adri­an Ray­mond who trains them with the Ques­tion and An­swer seg­ment, Lisa Ghany on Pro­to­cols, Din­ing & Eti­quette and a se­ries of oth­er train­ing ses­sions which in­clud­ed Ba­sic Me­dia Train­ing, Stage pres­ence and Pre­sen­ta­tion, Fit­ness, Pho­tog­ra­phy Pre­sen­ta­tion and Make­up Ap­pli­ca­tion just to name a few.”

Lochan Dass ex­plained this trans­for­ma­tion is a cul­mi­na­tion of hard work and ded­i­ca­tion not just from the Pageant train­ers and the or­ga­niz­ing team, but more so from the girls. She said, “The pas­sion and ded­i­ca­tion and the will­ing­ness to learn is what these young women brought to the ta­ble, and they cer­tain­ly did not dis­ap­point. It’s re­al­ly a heart-warm­ing ex­pe­ri­ence to see the meta­mor­pho­sis.”

Lochan Dass was full of praise for Toy­ota T&T Lim­it­ed, SM Group, Trinidad Tourism Lim­it­ed, The Min­istry of Tourism, Arts and Cul­ture, Sacha Cos­met­ics and spe­cial per­former on the night Col­lege Boy Jesse as well as the judges.
