She continued, “Everyone agrees that Braneka is a fantastic representative for our country. However, not everyone was willing to give. I would especially like to thank George Markantonis and his colleagues at the Atlantis Resort for opening the doorway to such a blessing. Now armed with a smashing wardrobe, I am confident that Braneka is going to be a force to be reckoned with in Vegas and possibly bring The Bahamas its first Miss Universe crown.”
