Ms. Gaynell Rolle, said this is the tenth year for the Bahamas competing at the World's Our Little Miss competition, and each year the ladies are soaring to new heights. "I am so proud of my angels, this is the first year we have a contestant as young as Olivia and Tierra and they held their own. Olivia was no surprise, because she won the overall title her in Nassau, as Little Miss Bahamas. However, she shocked the international audience with her charm and appeal. The other contestants were equally as pleasing, and so was the support received from our "GO TEAM BAHAMAS" crew - parents, family and supporters travelling to New Orleans",stated Ms. Rolle. She thanked the many supporters and sponsors of the queens and the organization, saying they have help to make it all possible.
