Newly crowned Miss Universe Guyana, Soyini Fraser, will soon wing out to the United States of America where she will start training leading up to the Miss Universe pageant. She intends to work acidulously with the new organisaers to make sure Guyana makes it to the top 15 in the competition.
Under the new franchise holder, Jyoti Hardat, the crowned queen will undergo several training programmes while in the US. She also has a lot of international contacts that are willing to assist in making the path to the Miss Universe pageant much easier with their support and encouragement.
Reminiscing on the pageant, Fraser noted that each of the delegates brought their “A” game from the inception but on the night of the pageant, she had one goal at the back of her head – that was to win. When asked about her fiercest competitor, Fraser related that she had to look out for all the delegates, admitting that this year; the array of delegates was of a different calibre.
“They were all gracious and wanted the same thing – to win the title. All I did was put my heart and soul into everything I did with the hope of it paying off”, she added.
After answering the first question, Fraser started to walk off the stage but was called back by the emcee, Sherod Duncan, for a second question. She however, recomposed herself, listened to the question and delivered.
As the Guyanese ambassador prepares to leave local shores, she is all prepared to participate in the World Fashion Show which is billed for New York in two week’s time.
As she bid farewell to the sisterhood, she walks away with great memories and more so, new friendships.
“It was indeed a pleasure meeting all the delegates… Everyone has an amazing personality, everyone had a different platform that they were passionate about… growing with them, sharing with them, learning from them is what I will take away from the pageant,” Fraser stated.
Meanwhile, she is urging the other delegates to work together to promote pageants of high calibre as was witnessed on Saturday last.
