Miss Universe Jamaica 2017, Davina Bennett, says she was left speechless, after recently featuring on a billboard in New York (NY) for Nordstrom’s fine jewellery department.
“The little girl in me is screaming! This has been one of the longest dreams I’ve ever had! It is finally a reality,” she said in an emotional Instagram post.
The billboard, located in the NY community of SoHo, features Bennett’s iconic smile, while decking beautiful jewellery from the high-end clothing store.
In 2017, a then 21-year-old Davina captured the hearts of many when her graced the stage and won the crown of Miss Universe Jamaica 2017.
“I have worked for 7 years trying and fighting to be a model! Sooo many nooos! So many doors shut in my face!!! I never gave up! I never stopped fighting,” she said.
She later competed against 92 contestants from across the globe, and was declared second runner up to the 2017 Miss Universe.
“I wish I had the words! I wish I knew what to say! But for the first time ever, all I can do is cry! All I can do is lift my hands up to the sky and thank God for this,” Bennett declared in her Instagram post.
