Anea is the big winner
Miss Grand International must really have a soft spot for girls from the Caribbean nations. Miss Dominican Republic, Anea Garcia (
who was also Miss Rhode Island during Miss USA 2015 where ahe reached Top 5), was just named 2015 winner, and follows Janelee Chaparro of Puerto Rico and Daryanne Lees Garcia of Cuba to become the 3rd from the islands to clinch the top spot. She is also the third to become Miss Grand International. She bested 77 other candidates from all over the world. Her emotional answer during the Top 5 Question about her being a child of rape and how she tied it up with forgiving and peace must have been the clincher.
Claire Parker of Australia was chosen 1st Runner-Up, with Vartika Singh of India getting 2nd Runner-Up placement. Our very own Parul Shah was next in line as 3rd Runner-Up, with host delegate Rattikorn Kunsom closing the magic circle as 4th Runner-Up.
Our bet was also named Best in National Costume as she really stood out in that segment in the Edwin Uy creation she wore.
Congratulations to all the winners! :-)
