The 2025 Miss Point Fortin Borough Queen Pageant was an unforgettable event, brimming with elegance, talent, and excitement from start to finish. This year’s crown went to Danelle Joseph, who captivated both judges and audience alike and walked away with the grand first prize of $10,000. She was joined on the podium by first runner-up Shareefa Smith and second runner-up Rodesha Peters.
The event was honored by the presence of the Honorable Clyde Elder, Member of Parliament for La Brea, and Alderman Bryanna Fortune, who represented the Mayor of Point Fortin.
Held for the first time at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA), the new venue brought a sense of grandeur and prestige to the occasion. The opening segment featured eye-catching designs by Zadd & Eastman, while the swimwear segment was stylishly presented with pieces by Princess Peters of Rock Versatile. The evening wear segment was a clear highlight, allowing delegates to showcase their poise, elegance, and fashion sense.
The judging panel was chaired by celebrated jazz vocalist Vaughnette Bigford, and included Dr. Maya Bartholomew (Miss Point Fortin 2019), Sherma Burke, Nigel Reid, and Joseph Lopez—each bringing their unique expertise to the adjudication process.
The night began with a powerful performance by Dr. Tehillah Jeffrey, the 2023 Queen.
