Savahnn James from Roseau was the winner of the Miss Dominica National Queen Pageant 2020, held in Roseau last week. Savahnn, who was Miss National Bank of Dominica and Greens Wholesale, also took the awards for Best Talent and Best response. She was crowned by Marisol John, who won the crown in 2019. Ophely Mezino, Miss World Europe and 1st runner-up in Miss World 2019, was present in the event, which might mean that Dominica will return to Miss World.
