Saturday May 27, saw the sashing of the Mr and Miss Guyana African Roots contestants at the Pegasus Hotel where 33 beauties and hunks gave short introduction of themselves and the African country they represent before being sashed.
The event was pulled off through the collaboration of Honest Illusions (a New York-based Production Company spearheaded by Brian Roberts) and Unique Arts Productions (a dance group directed by Kelton Jennings). The show opened with the national anthem, then a power point presentation of both groups highlighting what they have been doing for a number of years and shedding some light on the week of activities set to commence on August 7 and end on August 13, the night of the pageant.
