The British actress also took to Facebook to express her excitement and said, “I finally made it home to Dominica for Mas Domnik 2025 and it was a great experience. After landing and doing a quick change we went straight to Mega Monday with Triplek because we don’t play about carnival.” 

She also attended the Carnival Tuesday and said, “We turned into butterflies and did pretty mas with Hysterio Mas and we all danced and danced and danced all day and into the night.” Further, on Wednesday, Emmanuel along with her group of friends went to the Kalinago region to bury the carnival spirit until next year at Tewe Vaval.
