Fennell told Flair that being Miss Universe Jamaica is a dream come true for her, and its everything she expected it to be. It was my dream growing up, and Ive been lucky enough to be able to say that my dream is now my reality. Ive been having a good time, so far, going around Jamaica and meeting and interacting with people, she said.Inspired by former Miss Universe Jamaica Sandra Foster and the influences of her family, Fennell made the decision to go after her dream. Growing up and entering ladyhood I made the step, last year, to train my mind and body to dive into making that my reality, she explained.
When Fennell won the crown, she told Flair that night was the beginning of the rest of her life and she was extremely proud to have finally realised her dream. After winning, I remember feeling very proud and tired, but I knew that that was but a quarter of the journey. I still have those Is this really happening to me? moments, but then the phone rings and Im whisked off to another appearance or something my sweet reality.
