 On June 17th 2023, 6 young ladies will vie for the title of Miss Sufra Carnival Queen 2023. On Thursday May 25th, the Spectacular 6 spoke about their journey thus far. Miss Cool Bree's car and Jeep rental, Kitel Sinforia, says as a creative, this pageant will afford her the avenue to hone her skills. I am very passionate about art, in particular dance. It is my form of self-expression and channeling my inner creativity. What I've been enjoying most about this experience is just really bonding with my fellow contestants. It's become a sisterhood. On days I fail down, I talk to them and I feel much better. This is my way of stepping outside of my comfort zone. I believe that by doing so, I'm able to develop the resilience that I will need to handle whatever life may throw at me. Cathy Paul, Miss Sugabish Advisory Resort, says she is a passionate sportswoman who never backs down from a challenge and is hopeful that these qualities shine through on the night of June 17th. I see pageantry as an opportunity to build and develop skills. It's also a way for young girls to elevate themselves, so that's why I took the opportunity to participate in this year's pageant. I have a wonderful team working with me. I really enjoy making the bonding with the girls, friendships. It's more like a sisterhood, I would say. I really enjoy that, going to different places. According to Emily Tiso, Miss SRDF, the journey is empowering. Like her fellow contestants, she says the bonds she has made will last a lifetime but her absolute favorite has been discovering new things about herself. I intend on doing other pageants and I believe the Miss Soufre Carnival pageant is a good starting point for training and experience. Also growing up, I've always followed the Miss Soufre pageant and I believe that with this pageant, I would be exposed to more opportunities during and even after this journey. Miss Creek's funeral home, Montel Alfred, says on show night, the audience will be pleasantly surprised. Miss Creek, who is not a novice to the stage, says she absolutely enjoys the transformation that pageantry affords young women. I've gone up for many other pageants and I didn't think that I gave it my all. I knew I could have done better. So I'm going up for this pageant to prove to everyone, not everyone, but most importantly myself, that I know I can do better. Florida Saint-Omar, Miss Fordu Eco Resort, explained that family ties keep her going. The 19-year-old volunteer says the process has been gratifying and she is looking forward to pageant night to put her best foot forward. I enjoy practice with my girls and I'm looking forward in the talent segment. According to Keshel Winifred, Miss Souffre from Saint-Jacques Constituency Council, a fashionista by profession, taking part in this pageant is a dream come true. She says her passion for fashion and pageantry with the driving forces behind her decision to join the 2023 Miss Souffre Carnival pageant. She says the journey thus far has been delightful but she is looking forward to taking the crown home. I decided to join this year's pageant 2023 because I believe I have the ability to do what it takes to be the queen and also build on youth development in the constituency. The Sensational Six say they have no intention of letting the crowd or their sponsors down. On June 17th, the six contestants will take the stage at 7pm for an unforgettable experience at the Souffre Mini Stadium. Early bird tickets cost $65 and regular admission is $75. Tickets are available at the SRDF offices. From the Souffre Regional Development Foundation, I am Genive Gonzag.
