Trini Jungle Juice first met this native Trinidadian beauty, now residing in London, during the Notthing Hill Carnival 2007 season at the Trini Luau All Inclusive event. And when she told us that she was a contestant of the Divinity Model Management (http://www.divinitymodels.co.uk/) search for the “New Face” of EM Magazine, we were not only exicited for Yolande, but felt very proud to be a Trinibagoian!

When we caught up with the winner, asking her about the entire experience, she said… “I almost didn’t enter this competition. My husband was convinced it was a scam, but I took the chance and applied anyway. To my delight I was chosen to be among 19,999 other hopefuls. I spent weeks preparing to face the most beautiful girls in England. As time went on, numbers reduced and before I knew it, I was at the Grand Finals. Like a dream those hundreds disappeared. And then there was one...... and that one was me!”

We at TriniJungleJuice.com would like to send out a BIG congratulations to Yolande for her accomplishment, especially coming from a tiny country like Trinidad & Tobago and standing up against these international beauties.

Let the Red, White & Black continue to fly high!
