Zahra can do it!

THE EDITOR, Sir:

Recently, Superior Parts offices and myself have been flooded with calls related to our sponsorship of Zahra Redwood in the Miss Jamaica Universe competition. It has been an interesting mix, mostly congratulatory, however some were not as encouraging.

There is a sense of reservation as to whether this Miss Jamaica Universe can compete effectively internationally, with the view of taking home the coveted Miss Universe title in Mexico in May or placing in the top 10. We think she can.

At Superior Parts, we selected Zahra Redwood based on the confidence she displayed, above average intelligence, beauty and body. We thought she represented well, even while embracing the 'Out Of Many, One People' motto, thereby reaching the Jamaican diaspora and the globe, with her beauty, creativity and uniqueness which are associated with 'Brand Jamaica' which the world has logged on to.

Similar to Bob Marley, Zahra Redwood has created history in her area and we continue to put our support behind her and wish her all the best in Mexico as all Jamaicans should.

I am, etc.,
