Jamaican-American model Camille McDonald receives proclamation, citation in New York

While hosting the recently held Arit Fuller Foundation Inc’s Gala Dinner Druise in New York, Jamaican-American model Camille McDonald was surprised with a proclamation and citation from Senator Kevin Parker and Congresswoman Yvette Clarke respectively.

McDonald, who has a BA in advertising from Howard University, was born to Jamaican parents in New York but grew up in St Thomas for a short time with her maternal great grandmother. She has appeared on Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model series, and has done several philanthropic initiatives over the years.

On the weekend, she told Observer Online how surprised she was when she received the proclamation and citation at the gala dinner which was held at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, Pier 4, 58th Street in Brooklyn.
