I was thinking about how our recent winners have impacted or defined how Miss Universe works right now
IMG WINNERS
1. Pia
- she was able to make facial expression as integral in the performance. After her reign, girls are now showing some variety
- she was able to show versatility in a winner. Pia's reign was a clear demonstration of what a miss universe winner should be-- charity events, community building, fashion events and endorsements
2. Iris
- she was able to spark interest in a continent that usually says off from pageants. her victory was well received in her country and I think this is the reason why people are so endeared with her
3. Demi
- she was able to put depth to personal experiences and make it into an advocacy
- she was only very candid and authentic which can be seen now with contestants
4. Catriona
- she elevated the whole meaning of what the title means
- she defined how a competition should be approached-- non conventional, culturally embedded yet still personal
5. Zozi
- she was able to put voice to so many unheard or taboo issues
I hope the next winner can embody most of these good qualities or if not, define it in her own way
