An intellectual beauty with a fetish for fashion, 19 year old Davia Chambers is moving smoothly towards realizing her dreams of one day becoming a world renowned journalist and anchor as well as establishing herself as the first woman from her island to own a fashion magazine featuring everything Tobago.
Incidentally, Chambers is a current News Reporter/Anchor at Tobago Channel 5 and she also boasts an impressive portfolio even in light of the fact that she is among the youngest in the Miss Jamzone International lineup. Her personal achievements include Best Personal Interview (Miss T&T World 2010), Best Evening Wear (Miss T&T World 2010), 12 CXC and GCE passes (including 5 grade ones and the remainder in 2’s), TCI Supermodel 2009 and many awards for academics and sports in High School.
Proud to represent the beautiful Trinidad and Tobago, Davia intends to promote her country’s Carnival, exuberant culture, the rainforest, waterfalls, their National Instrument-Steel Pan, rivers and most of all the human resource.
“Trinidad and Tobago is one of the most looked at countries in the Caribbean and of this, I am proud. Therefore, I have made it my duty to continue to be an ambassador of my country, through international pageants and modeling”.
This 23 year old is a current student at the Midwestern State University majoring in Accounting and Spanish. She enjoys dancing and singing as well as listening to the mellow sounds of her favorite musicians, Alicia Keys, Lauren Hill and Beres Hammond.
Fatisha has a wealth of experience in pageantry having competed in numerous contests around the world and also states that her love for pageantry is somewhat genetic. “Pageantry has been a part of my family’s history as far back as my grandmother. My mother passed the trait down to me and my sister. My sister won the Carnival Talented Teen Show in 2009 and then went on to represent the Federation in Miss Caribbean Talented Teen”, Fatisha further explains.
If chosen as Miss Jamzone International 2011, Fatisha hopes to leave an indelible mark on the Caribbean Community through her talent of dance. “My love for dance has allowed me to reach out to many people. My dances tell stories and showcase many challenges the world faces; gang violence, pollution, child abuse etc. Throughout my appearances in different countries, my talent has left the audience reason to believe, that the world will change one day, only if we work together.”
We’re exactly one week away from the commencement of Guyana’s greatest festival and the atmosphere is pulsating with ‘Jamzone’ fever. Tickets are practically flying off the shelves, stores are restocking their clothing section exclusively with ‘summer’ apparel and patrons abroad are eagerly awaiting their flights to head our way. Among the most talked about events on the roster is the much anticipated and star studded ‘Jamzone International Night’ Super Concert which will feature R&B Superstar Trey Songz and a special guest performance by renowned Hip Hop megastar Eve, as well as supporting acts Timeka Marshall and Don Gialiani.
The general feedback from the local audience has been great since the addition of both artistes consciously targets two separate factions of fans of varying personal interest with one common interest, which is a love for great music.
The organizers have already begun venue preparations to ensure the stage is set to the required International standards and making any adjustments to accommodate varying weather conditions. With partnership from various corporate entities, the Jamzone team is working earnestly to ensure that this year goes down in history as one of the most memorable.
General tickets for this concert and all other Jamzone Summer Break 2011 events with the exception of the Miss Jamzone International Pageant are available at Ashmins Trading while the VIP and Luxury VIP (LVIP) can be obtained from Glamour Designer Brands in the Gizmos and Gadgets Superstore, 13 North Road and Wellington streets.
