“The show is a developmental process, which assists these young ladies to boost their self-confidence and self-esteem,” Matthews said, adding, “I’m expecting this year’s show to be eminent.”

Matthews expressed confidence in the young and promised that, saying, “I promise they (patrons) won’t be disappointed.”

The event is also expected to see performances from LIME Soca Dans and other local artistes.
