“I believe that everyone has been through struggles, failures, anything in life. We can get back up. It's not about how you fall, but how you rise up. I would encourage you all to be your own hero, to light that light within yourself and shine it on others. And if we come together and lift each other up, the world will be a much better place. I encourage you all to never fear. I am standing here as your next Miss Universe and I hope to lead them.“
Philippines’ Ahtisa Manalo:
“I work with an organization called Alon Akademie where we work with young people to provide them opportunities to make them realize that it doesn't matter what your life circumstance is, it doesn't define where you will go. And I want to continue working with Alon Akademie on a bigger platform like Miss Universe to make sure that people who come from low-income backgrounds are given the same opportunities as everyone else.“
Venezuela’s Stephany Abasali:
“I believe that education and communication go hand in hand to influence positivity for girls, for children, for everyone who watches this platform. I am standing here because with my life experiences, I’ve been able to become the person I wanted to be. And this is the representation of a woman who is determined and with her conviction, she reached her goal. That is what I want all girls to search for.”
Mexico’s Fátima Bosch:
“As Miss Universe, I will say to them: believe in the power of your authenticity. Believe in yourself. Your dreams matter, your heart matters. And never let anyone make you doubt your worth, because you are worth everything, and you are powerful, and your voice needs to be heard.”
Côte d’Ivoire Côte d’Ivoire’s Olivia Yacé:
“Well, as an ambassador and as Miss Universe, I would want to be the face of a new generation that mixes cultures, modern and traditional. I want to be the face of an era of women who are bold, who are leaders, who are unapologetic about who they are. If I am Miss Universe, I want to be a role model for all young girls and let them know that they too can make it. Go into those rooms where you think you don’t belong, shine, and assume your identity. Because it’s time.”
