Great Job my girl

I’ve been saying this! She is talking Facts and I’m only 10 mins into the video! Subscribed !! Cause she actually got a brain 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Totally agree

Amazing

As a member of the Pageant Pinez community, I want to commend you for creating that video and sharing your truth. However, I would be remiss not to touch on a few points you made, offering some insights where I agree and disagree. 1-No offense intended, but you mentioned that you've only participated in one pageant-Miss SJC Princess. How long ago was that? I believe the quality of pageants has significantly improved since then. Additionally, while you may not have intended to sound boastful, the frequent use of "I" in your video could come across that way, depending on how viewers interpret it. 2-I agree with the fundamental points you made in the video. However, I believe that the girls don't necessarily need to be humanitarians to participate in the show. Humanitarianism doesn’t always equate to working with a charity; many of these girls are actively involved in their communities and have engaged in volunteerism in various ways. 3-Some of what you said seemed based on hearsay, with a lot of assumptions and opinions-which you are, of course, entitled to. However, the part where you mentioned reaching out to the carnival pageant committee and not receiving a response, leading to your video, sounded somewhat entitled and privileged. It's important to check that privilege. 4-Your comment about the pageant being a mockery of the girls, implying it’s the committee’s fault, stood out to me. The committee can't control or dictate how the public perceives or reacts. Memes have long been a part of carnival culture and will likely continue, especially with larger audiences and advances in technology. 5-Regarding the quality of women, there are established standards and requirements for the pageant. Each contestant must have at least five CSEC passes, including English and Math, so the girls are indeed educated. Additionally, I found it disrespectful to refer to some of the girls as "fillers." Every contestant auditioned and was fairly judged to earn their spot on coronation night. 6-I don't believe there are too many pageants on the island. These events are crucial for developing young ladies, providing them with experience, and better preparing them for nationals. Community pageants like Miss Teens and Miss District Highs offer valuable opportunities for growth. While there's always room for improvement in quality, these smaller steps are essential in developing our young women. Again, your choice of words-saying the girls are coming on stage to "give garbage"-was harsh. 7-I completely agree with you on the importance of good chaperones and teams for the contestants. A strong team can make or break a contestant's experience. I also share your concerns about favoritism and the need for qualified judges. However, there have been recent improvements in the judging process, with rotating judges for different segments to match their expertise. 8-You mentioned that you don't have experience organizing a show of such magnitude but criticized the lack of guidance for the girls. How many young ladies do you know who have participated in Queen Show and gone on to become prominent figures in society? Are you aware of the rigorous training and workshops these contestants undergo? 9-It's important to distinguish between runway modeling and pageant modeling, as they are not the same. While you may have experience in modeling, the techniques you teach for runway modeling differ from those needed for pageantry. While certain aspects like posture and poise can translate, the walk, for example, is different. 10-I agree that some of the costumes have become a bit mediocre, but I don't think we should eliminate the segment entirely. Instead, we should allocate more time to prepare something truly spectacular. 11-I don't believe the questions asked during the pageant are too generic. Perhaps they could be structured differently, but I don't think the content itself is the issue. For example, while you may think the queens might struggle with a question on crime, there have been instances where a queen's recommendations have influenced parliamentary discussions or led to policy changes. 12- In conclusion, I think it would benefit you to have conversations with those actively involved in pageantry to gain a better understanding of the criteria for each segment, rather than focusing solely on what you would like to see. Getting more involved in the pageant world, rather than just watching online or occasionally in person, could broaden your knowledge. Especially since your experience dates back to 2014/2015, a time when the pageant landscape has evolved considerably.

Facts

Speaking facts Jhazmin. All facts.

My Friend Shared This Link, Sooo true , #facts , smh, Agreed with everything! New subscriber

Not going to lie, there are definitely aspects of this video I disagree with especially as someone who attended the auditions this year for the first time. However, VALID POINTS 8/10 for your points because some things are so right. Some things like I said I disagree with but everyone has their opinion and I love hearing different opinions This video is gonna touch some nerves 🤭 I lowkey love it.

I would love to do a discussion with you on this...looking forward.🎉🎉

But I certainly believe your video explored certain areas that needs to be revisited. I certainly agreed with the bit on the talent segment. There needs to be some new life pumped into the talent segment. The drama "skit" aspect as gotten better for sure.

Huh..the comment on "if someone believes they can do better than you walking on the street and you should feel shame as a contestant" maybe it was a slip of the tongue from you

I think it's a mix..while there are questions that may be better I don't think that asking a young person " how do you think we can curb crime?" is a stupid question or " if you were Prime Minister for 1 day what would you do or change?". The biggest issue with the interview segment is - the team taking time to understand the value that the interview segment adds to the contestant's ability and that is a struggle very often.

Make this a series!!!!

Good shearing,motivation for the youths ❤

For the last couple years the criteria and quality of the carnival queens have degraded significantly. They queen based of affiliations and emotional biases. They claim they go by a criteria but the winners are usually the complete opposite to say the least, it's madness. I will never recommend it to any or family its a big hoax

Lemme tell you jhazmin for Prime Minister

First 🎉

thank you for sharing this video. i partciapted in the parade of the bands both this year and last year with two the major bands in saint lucia. i must say, that i enjoyed the parties more than the road experience! i believed that the quality of the costume wasnt the best, the food was good but that wait time was long and the drinks were not as good. also, i believe that the costumes are skimpy which reveals the genitals of women way too often if they dont cover up themselves properly beofre they head out on the road on carnival monday. but like i said to myself, that next year will be my last time participating in the parade of the bands because of the outcome of it over the years. the vibes this year was missing something, something was just off and i didn't get that "authentic lucian experience" this year.

I started participating as a teenager and played mas for years. I have not done so in recent years for the very same reasons you shared. I commend you.

❤❤❤❤

I am in complete agreement with you. Carnival used to be about everybody and not just a select few. I love the French bands and the cultural music showcasing this. This is Brazil and Trinidad carnival and we seem to have lost our creative, cultural and social direction as a nation.

On point especially on the panty. No front cloth to cover up. For the food XUVO food was stale this year, I saw j4f serving hotdogs and fries

Thank you for being very transparent and truthful. this is the information agencies need to acquire to determine with anything is truly a success, as it has been our observation that the "success" label does not have any criteria and is not really followed up by defendable data. Thanks Jhazmin!

How often would you need to replace (with a new one) the cup?

You look amazing!

Great tips!

I can see how after being a part of carnival from a little kid it can get disheartening to hear and experience some of the things that you said! For me I love carnival as well and I haven't experienced stlucia carnival in a costume especially because growing up I heard the whole panty and bra on the road statement making the experience sound like it was such an indecent thing to do ! Yet here you describe it as being way more amazing in that time ! I have experienced carnival in America after I decided to put to bed the entire panty and bra thing in my head! I just believe that the experience varies based on the band that you chose(in stlucia) from my observation of carnival every year! It also varies based on the people you experience it with! I am married with daughters and I believe it's how you upbring your kids is how they will view these things! In carnival there are different choices based on the costume you can get! You don't have to get the string or skimpy panty or wire bra if you don't agree with the look ! There are many more decent options in costumes to chose from! I don't agree with the dry humping! That's one thing I don't like ! I attended a carnival convention and with the increase in materials and all the work that goes into construction of costumes I understand the reasons behind some of these prices ! Again it is based on the band you chose! I believe that carnival is the one time you can free up yourself and let all your stress out and revel together with people! For me carnival is such a spiritual experience! So I believe if you stop doing it based on all the reasons stated and people stopped as well , who will be left to try to influence in changing it back to the experience you once knew?

Nice video, my husband will be coming to study next month, I will let him know

I jumped this year after a long hiatus and I honestly didn't feel the joy and excitement I once felt in the past. The djs were WACK, the road experience was lacking imagine, I felt more excitement watching last year than I did this year jumping. The band tells you the costumes are custom made so they can't offer refunds yet I received the wrong style and size bra and got a lame ass excuse as to why. Normally I would have a vaval tabanca after jumping but it was not there. You are on point with everything 👏 👌

Great job young lady. Excellent observation. I've always said that my issue with carnival is the vulgarity,nudity and drunkenness.

And that's why Tribe of Twell won. You're spot on with this. 🎉

You just salty, i hope other Caribbean ban you as you hate foreigner. Jealous because they arent featuring you. Tourism is bringing money into your country.

Well said my dear AMEN

Very well said . Our young women need to hear this . As you said why show our bodies for free .All your points were well constructed .Blessings now and always .

It took you so long to notice that..glad you came to your senses..keep your standards. I feel you know that you'll want a man to take you serious and not be judged wrongly and many other personal reasons..whatever they are..keep it. You have nothing to prove to others by showing up.

Your mom is a great lady, she raised you right.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Soo true, I am speechless right now. I've sent this video to everyone. It's very true, everything you said. It's for foreign friends. If the costume doesn't fit your values, don't join. Love you, my sister's, cousins and family was waiting for this video for years. Thank you.😢😢❤❤😢😢😢❤❤

carnival has been becoming more commercialized.

Sis swear she me. Seriously though...my thoughts and feelings align with all points you brought up. Quit jumping when I saw the direction our carnival took. I especially love the point you brought up about the so called revelers being in it for only the 2 day bacchanal in the streets and not all of what our vaval encompasses like King & Queen of the bands, Calypso competition etc.. Would've loved to hear your thoughts on the use of "Influencers" promoting a carnival which is no longer authentic and creative. Mwen mem.

💯

JF, you could not have said it better . I share your opinion and appreciate that you brought it out. I, too, am a former reveler.

Can I send you an invitation to take part in our la woz festival in August,you will have great fun enjoying your culture

Appreciated, stay safe!❤

Every thing you spoke about is so true.. you are very correct....100% truth...
