The
Biography of La Toya Lewis
Miss
Super 6
Born on October sixteenth 1987 to Augustus Haynes and Jennie Lewis I am
20-year-old La Toya Lewis from the quiet village of Edinboro.
I attended the Anglican Government School for the first two years of my
primary education and then went on to the Lodge Village Government School. At
the Lodge Village Government School extra curricular activities were very
limited and so in 1997 when the Red Cross program was introduced to that school
I enrolled. The most important thing that I learnt in this program was first
aid and how to administer it in particular situations.
In 2000 I graduated top of my primary school class for girls and went
on to the St. Joseph’s Convent Kingstown. Finally, I was at the school of my
dreams.
At St. Joseph’s Convent, as a lover of sports, I became actively
involved in many sporting activities and throughout my Junior years at that
school I was Junior Sports Champion. I am very proud of the fact that when I
got to Form 5 my road relay record was still intact. I eventually became Sports
Captain of Our Lady’s House.
In 2005 I graduated from secondary school with six subjects:
Mathematics, Information Technology, Caribbean History, Social Studies,
Principles of Accounts and Principles of Business. I was disappointed not to
have passed English and so in 2007 I went on to acquire my qualification in
that subject. After St. Joseph’s Convent I attended the SVG Community College
but I was forced to discontinue my studies due to a lack of funds. I have
however not let this obstacle prevent me from furthering my education and I am
currently attempting Management of Business at evening classes.
I am currently employed with the National Lotteries Authority as a
Customer Service Representative. I intend to complete my education and I am
determined to be in the management field.
I have many interests some of which are singing, dancing, song writing,
writing poetry and listening to music. Singing is however what interests me the
most and I know I am very good at it. I love listening to music because it
causes you to relax and I love having that feeling. Music is a big part of my
life. In 2007 I entered the Digicel Rising Stars and made it to the top 50; I
got really positive reviews but failed to make it to the top 10.
I am also a member of the Taekwondo Association but because of my
schedule I do not have the opportunity to be actively involved.
I have entered into a number of beauty shows my first being Miss Biker
Babe and in that show I won Best Biker Wear and was adjudged the Second
Runner-up. In 2007 I entered Miss Independence; I won Best Talent, Best
Eveningwear and the title of Queen. I also entered Miss Unity Youth but was
unable to participate because I was extremely ill and had to be hospitalized.
Each person has someone they look up to. My role model is Mrs. Ajeni
Shakur, the mother of American rapper Tupac Amary Shakur and an important
member of the Black Panther Party. She defended herself in Court against the
Government of the United States of America while pregnant with her son, Tupac.
She is the perfect example of a strong black woman and as a young woman she
inspires me to stand up and fight for what I believe in no matter who is
condemning me.
Entering Miss SVG has always been a dream of mine ever since the day
that my father asked me, “When are you going to stop acting like a boy and
become a young lady, because one day you have to enter Miss SVG and make me
proud!” My father is now deceased but we were close and those words of his have
inspired me to achieve my dreams and to make him proud. I am thankful that I
have been given this opportunity to fulfill my dreams. I know my father is
looking down on me and that he is extremely proud.
