She thanked her sponsors Cool and Smooth, Little B and J Fabrics, Anjo Insurance, Sharine Gillon, Rockell’s Fashion, and everyone else who supported her along the way.

“It was a great experience. I got to see pageantry on a different level because its plus size. I do now see my strengths and weaknesses and its something I am working to work towards. I do get to reign as Miss Elegantly Plus Size Antigua and Barbuda which is awesome. I will still get to share my platform with all of you. Overall, it was a great experience, and I enjoyed myself,” Fontaine said.

      I agree to this comment. on like two of the ministers that she went to for sponsors turn her down she still represent Antigua with the help of her little sponsors and family .Mostly I should say she did it on her own all alone. If she have gotten all that she needed just knowing she’s very talented you probably would have won.
