You know Jamaica had to get in on the act with media personalities ZJ Sparks and Simone Clark-Cooper going crazy when they heard saw the victory.

In video uploads to Twitter both persons could be heard going ballistic when Jamaica was announced as the winner.

One Twitter user pointed out that Jamaica’s cultural wear, the bandana, may have had a role to play also, as the last time Jamaica won, beauty queen Lisa Hanna had worn it and now Toni-ann.

Another glorious moment of celebration was from the “King of St Thomasâ€, dancehall artiste Popcaan, who proudly acknowledged Toni-Ann, a fellow native of St Thomas and committed his support and that of his team.

View this post on Instagram There’s a total different light shining on st Thomas parish right now, and it makes me very happy to see someone else from the parish flourishing and making us all proud. Go Toni Ann you have me and my whole team supportŸ™Ÿ¿âœŠŸ¿ #MISSWORLD2019A post shared by 876GUD (@popcaanmusic) on Dec 14, 2019 at 9:20am PST

With two black women taking the respective crowns of Miss Universe and Miss World in a matter of days, this is certainly a major win not only for Jamaica but for the world.
