She is NOT miss world, she is simply the T&T candidate. So, while she's claiming what she say is true and applicable to a wide swathofthepopulation, she is not in a position to influence the people who can advance her alleged cause, and is simply painting a picture of this country to look like a nation of suffering people for sympathy points.
And even if on the off chance she wins the pageant, she ain't going to do diddly squat for or about the suffering little girls she that she allegedly tries to help. Because these pageants are not about the candidates, or even the winners, much less the winners pet causes. They are about making money for the franchise, plain and simple.
There are smaller events that guarantee a spot in the semi finals if you win them.This is one of them.Beauty with a cause.You have to highlight things that you have done personally to alleviate poverty and those kinds of things in your home country.This is a relevent platform.
Its not a UN scale humanitarian event,nor is it designed to be.
This is a possible spot in the semi finals guaranteed, not an attempt at politics.
The 'cause' is self advancement.88sins wrote:timelapse wrote:What allyuh not realizing is what I posted earlier.88sins wrote:Plenty of allyuh really eh realize a very key factor.

A guarantee of one thing that is heavily dependent on the outcome of IF you win in another event, is not a guarantee at all.
That being said. It might increase your odds of success, but ain't nothing guaranteed in life other than death.
In any eventuality, whether she wins a spot for a chance to win the pageant, or the overall pageant, in either case, as history has shown, it is unlikely that she or those that come after her will have any effect worth anything that might benefit her cause, even if she used that cause as a means to the end in winning the pageant and threw an entire nation under the bus to do it.
I have taken careful note of the heartfelt sentiments being expressed on social media in relation to a video clip of one segment of the Miss World pageant held in Puerto Rico in December 2021 which is scheduled to be concluded in March 2022.
I wish to reinstate this statement to address criticisms of and support by some over portions of what was widely disseminated on social media.
I start by again declaring that I am a patriotic daughter of our beautiful twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. All my life, I dreamt of representing my country at the Miss World pageant and this dream became a reality when I was crowned Miss World T&T on January 31st, 2021.
As part of the journey of the Miss World Pageant, Beauty with a Purpose (BWAP) is a mandatory project showcasing the philanthropical work of each contestant in their country. I established The Brandt Beauty Foundation as part of my BWAP, with a core conviction for helping and giving back to the most in need throughout Trinidad and Tobago.
Poverty globally is a hard reality many choose to ignore and conceal. However, after extensive eye-opening visits to various remote communities nationwide with several constituency representatives, I took the solemn vow to bring as much relief to persons in numerous communities, as best as I can.
I have met families that lacked the basic infrastructure to live a standard life. I have met kids who have not attended school due to a lack of basic resources i.e. electricity, basic clothing, devices, running water and various devices to access the new learning environment induced by the pandemic. While I acknowledge that all of our citizens have free access to education, healthcare and other public services some cannot afford transport to attain these services.
BWAP allowed me to highlight to the world, the initiatives I took as Miss T&T to mitigate against these challenges.
I am aware that some persons who viewed my statements in the clip circulated in relation to one segment of the event are hurt and angry. This clip omits the full context of the whole Miss World event and the many aspects of how we portrayed the whole beauty of our respective countries as representatives.
In hindsight my statements could have been articulated better especially in the perfect hindsight of only sections of the event being circulated. My intention was not to sensationalize any level of poverty in Trinidad and Tobago but to demonstrate the solutions that I advocated for in my small way to bring relief whilst bringing awareness from a different perspective. I had just under 2 minutes to do this!
Through this all I remain committed to the principal cause of my efforts and I will continue to be focused and committed to shedding light on social issues that are often hidden from many.
Quite unfortunately I am also compelled to take note in this release of the erroneous claims circulating, as it relates to my biological father. I wish to categorically state on behalf of my parents Jeffrey and June-Ann, that those proclamations are untrue.
I wish to personally thank everyone who defended my efforts to represent our country in the best manner possible.
To those that took offense, I can only apologise for any hurt felt and to ask for the understanding that full context matters in everything said or done.
I remain humbled by this experience, as I continue my reign as Miss World Trinidad and Tobago as I continue to strive to represent our beloved country at the Miss World Pageant.
I look forward to your continued support.

People don't fix what they don't see as a problem.
So, that being said,, it's clear that they don't see the that a large swath of the population that ketchin they nenen to even feed themselves is a problem, hence the abundance of inaction.

No different than any other forms of exploitation.
Why does charity and good will needs to come with a camera these days?
A spade is a spade, no matter how you dress it up.

clear as mud
because who exactly is asking for this "proof", and why?
in this instance, it looks much like the "proof" was collected to be used to advance her personal agenda, which was, to try to look good for the miss world judges.
So yes, she has "proof" of her "charitable?" actions, and now nobody will doubt the reasons why she made that video and did that so-called charity work
