Winning more than the crown: Pageant brings busy mother and daughter closer

Germaine and Kia Jacques finished as the winning pair in the Senior Category of the 27th production of the Supa-Stylistics Mother and Daughter Pageant just minutes into Mother’s Day at the National Cultural Centre. The pageant was held on Saturday night.

In a sit down with The Scene, the mother and daughter spoke about their relationship and how the pageant has impacted their lives.

Up until their decision to enter the pageant Germaine was just a busy mother of four, while 20-year-old Kia carried on as a fulltime student at the University of Guyana (UG) pursuing a degree in Biology. She is still in her first year and once she would have attained her degree she will pursue Medicine in hopes of later specializing as a gynaecologist. Germaine works as Administrative Assistant at Eureka Medical Laboratories Inc. Neither had ever entered a pageant before nor had it on their bucket list, but all of that changed with one conversation, Germaine shared.
