Dear Miss Fiji,
In a time when the odds seemed stacked against her, when voices were loud and criticism was heavy, you chose courage. You chose to stand tall. You chose to represent our island nation with dignity and pride.
Miss Fiji, Miss Ailava Samuels, your journey is a powerful reminder that true queens are not made by applause alone, but by perseverance, faith, and unshakable strength. Through scrutiny and setbacks, you never wavered. You kept pushing. You kept shining. And you carried Fiji in your heart every step of the way.
So proud of the woman you are and the example you’ve set for so many.
Honoured to have tailored this special piece for you, lovingly embellished by your mom Su Samuels and the amazing Ash Phaneuf, a reflection of your resilience and beauty
You stood strong. You stood proud. You stood for Fiji. 🇫🇯
Go with God Lewa ✨
