After three years of deliberation, World Poker Tour Royal Flush Girl and Chamoru descendant Brittany Bell finally decided to enter the 2014 Miss Universe Guam pageant on Tuesday night in the northwest district it of Tumon.
When the voting procedure was over and done with, Bell, 26, had defeated 7 opponents and claimed the Miss Universe Guam title. She will be representing Guam in the 63rd-annual Miss Universe pageant on January 25, 2015 in Miami, Florida.
"While living back home on Guam, I've been taking everything that I've learned from all of my traveling and all that God has given me to contribute to my roots." Bell said prior to the competition. "The history of Guam is very deep, and at times it touches my heart so much that I cry. Most people don't know what it means to be Chamoru, unless they are familiar with the island or are rooted in the bloodline. That is my motivation. I want to make sure that the island is not overlooked, and by participating in the community and doing something like this I see so many possibilities. What we have on Guam is amazing. I am so proud of my roots."
