 After capturing the Miss Bahamas title in May of this year, Braneka Bassett is just hours away from competing in the Miss Universe pageant, scheduled for this coming Monday, 23rd August, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As the native Grand Bahamian beauty prepares to represent her island and nation in the coveted competition set to be broadcast worldwide, she carries the support of an entire country, The Bahamas, who hosted the prestigious Miss Universe pageant last year.
The Miss Bahamas Organization (MBO) is doing its best to ensure that Miss Bassett has all that she needs to represent her country in a manner befitting a queen. Lending their support is The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA), a major sponsor of many of the events held last year, on Grand Bahama, that were affiliated with the Miss Universe pageant.
