00:02 She is a Carnival Queen.

00:04 One of the premium-mass players in any country.

00:08 And we're meeting the queen of queens right now,

00:11 Joella Crichton.

00:12 Carnival for me is an opportunity

00:15 to be free and express myself creatively.

00:19 Carnival is an expression of my ego.

00:21 Each individual representing specific bands

00:27 will compete against each other to be crowned

00:29 the king or the queen.

00:31 The king and queen really is the ultimate.

00:33 People see it as the Olympics of Caribbean culture.

00:37 I won it for the seventh time in a row.

00:39 That's nine times winning.

00:40 Nobody has done what she has done.

00:43 It's really, really difficult to do what she's done.

00:46 And I don't think people really get how much of a feat that is.

00:50 This year's costume is called Harmony.

00:54 The inspiration comes from the theme of the band,

00:56 which is love.

00:58 Hopefully it's a winner, guys.

00:59 The king and queen competition also has another category,

01:02 which is the male and female individual.

01:04 And that's what I compete in.

01:06 Between Joella and Mishka, there are no two sisters

01:09 who can portray a costume like they could.

01:11 Two people vying for queen of this year's Toronto Carnival.

01:15 We've got the seven-time reigning champ

01:17 and the challenger over here.

01:20 This year was so special because Joella was going for 10 wins.

01:24 Nobody in the history of Toronto Carnival has won 10 queens.

01:29 If I don't win, I'm done.

01:30 I already promised that to you.

01:33 Decision was made that this would be her last time

01:36 playing queen.

01:37 Since it'll be the last time Joella's doing it,

01:39 it'll be my last too.

01:40 And it'll be all cute sister, sister.

01:43 As I begin to win more, I feel unwelcomed

01:46 because of the statements that people

01:48 were making about my team and me and the way we competed.

01:53 There's this rivalry because everybody wants to win.

01:56 They're coming for you.

01:57 They're coming.

01:58 I know.

01:59 This is the big test, eh?

02:00 The weight is heavy to have it end well.

02:04 I don't know.

02:04 I don't think this is the winning costume

02:06 that's at stands right now.

02:07 It does feel like I left a legacy, and I'm happy with it.
