BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (January 2018)- The youngest ever competitor talented Miss Independent (Karisia Willett) continues to dominate the calypso arena since her debut in 2017 when she made history to become the first ever Female National Senior Calypso Monarch, and now making history again as the first female to two-peat.
