“We are elated to have Leanne as Miss Legacy International 2017. Both her personal and professional goals align perfectly with our mantra and as such, she is suited to be our queen. I believe her reign will initiate conversations around the globe taking her, the brand, and its community outreach to different heights.” says Green.
Morancie states, “I am proud to represent the Nature Island and the Caribbean as a whole. I want to extend special thanks to my parents, Leah Jules and Evarus Morancie as well as my step-mother Dale Morancie. I also want to thank my VI-based glam team- Isabella Sylvester of Beat by Bella Make Up (Dominican decent) and my stylist, Chelsea Williams of Cancemini Art (Dominican decent) as well as my speech coach Olinger Augustin of Trademark Enterprise (St. Lucian decent).”
Leanne now has her eyes set on future pageants, including the 2018 Miss University of the Virgin Islands Ambassadorial Pageant and the I Am Every Woman Pageant based in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. As she serves as ambassador for the Caribbean internationally, Leanne plans to promote her platform F.L.Y and build the youth through the fine arts.
