Sharon Legerme representing Party room Squad [Jamaica].

As a young women, I define myself as someone who always strives to achieve greatness, you might ask yourself, well who am I? I am Sharon Legerme, a confidant young woman who at the age of twenty-five has completed a Bachelors of Arts in Health Administration, and is now looking forward to working on my Masters in Occupational Therapy. I represent the wonderful island of Jamaica , and my hobbies including reading and knitting. One of my favorites quote to live by is, “the sky is no longer the limit, so reach above.














Sheri Legerme representing Massive Squad [Jamaica].

Sheri Legerme was born in Miami , Fl on November 14, 1981. I carry a substantial sense of pride for my Jamaican heritage and its culture. The interest in learning about other Caribbean cultures has been a big motivation for me to enter Miss Miami Carnival pageant.

I am presently a senior at Florida Atlantic University , majoring in Health Care Administration. One of my future goals is to one day own and operate a chain of long term care facilities in and around South Florida and the Caribbean. Some of my hobbies include shopping, modeling, crocheting, dancing, hanging out with friends, making others laugh, and photography.

My relationship with Christ continues to inspire and encourage me to accomplish my goals in life. I believe that one most “Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.” Lanston Huges"






Leburnah Liburd representing St. Kitts Cooperative Credit Union Squad [St. Kitts].


My name is Leburnah Liburd, a 22yr old scorpion born and raised in Sugar City St. Kitts. I am a second semester sophomore at Florida Memorial University, with a 3.8 G.P.A and majoring in Finance. Before enrolling at Florida Memorial
 University, I was employed as a head teller of the St. Kitts Co-operative Credit Union and a part-time cashier at one of the local supermarkets. Upon obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I intend to pursue a master’s degree in Marketing. It is my desire to return to my country to impart my knowledge and skill that I would have achieved. Although I enjoy working as much as I do, I still find time to have an active social life. In St. Kitts, I am a member of the Vivace Dance Company which allows me to express myself artistically through body movement. Equally important to me as spending time alone, is meeting new people. Although I strongly believe that zodiac signs say a lot about a person’s character, no two people are wholly identical. Therefore, meeting new people for me has become a different adventure every time. While I am at school, I enjoy associating myself with the Caribbean
 and International Students Association and the First Lady’s Ladies Organization of which I am the treasurer of both. In life, I believe that no one solely accomplishes anything. Therefore, it is wise to be kind to the people you meet on your way up because they’re the same ones that you’ll meet on your way down.
