MBW: Tell us about your “Beauty With a Purpose” project.
TASHANNA Beauty with A Purpose suggests that all contestants focus on a charity with the intention of bringing a greater awareness to that particular cause. It is for this reason that I have partnered with a non-profit agency to assist with the rehabilitation and reinsertion of the homeless back into the functioning society. I am very passionate about this issue here in Barbados, across the Caribbean and World Wide. The Barbados Homeless & Vagrant Society Charity has a great plan and is working feverishly to bring it to fruition. I will be assisting them in generating funds to continue the fight for cause. My Campaign is therefore called "Help The Homeless" it is a heartfelt plea for those who are capable of giving funds. goods or services to help us get these people off the streets because with the right help they can be of a positive benefit to society.

Yes i did have a lot of fun with them, we seem to have similar personalities. I felt a sense of accomplishment on Sunday. I enjoyed it, I know its something thats greatly needed here... Our beaches, a major part of our Island, should be kept free of litter by each and everyone of us.. it should be done by every barbadian, everyday, as a continuous act.. littering can be harmful to the beaches in many ways..
