“It’s always a great opportunity to be called on to rep Antigua and fly the flag high just by using my talent that the father God above has blessed me with, so, I am looking forward to this completion”, Phillip said.

She also told other young people in the industry to,” Be focused and always stand firm to constructive criticism, it will come, remain focus and ready to receive it”, Phillip said.
