Region One’s (Barima-Waini) Esther Marslowe strutted off with the Miss Indigenous Heritage title and crown two Saturdays ago after stiff competition from contestants representing the other nine regions. The other top positions in the pageant went to first runner-up Sauna Fredericks of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), second runner-up Luana Allicock of Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo), third runner-up Varshanie Herman of Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) and fourth runner-up Jeline Da Silva of Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
A pageant veteran with a deep love for the Indigenous community, Esther was in her element while shining a spotlight on issues affecting her people. Esther has won four pageants before this one, though this was the highest level of competition for her. Among the pageants she won are: Miss Moruca Expo, Miss Region One (Port Kaituma), Miss Region One (Mabaruma), and Miss Indigenous Heritage 2019.
