In the climactic question round of the 72nd Miss Universe pageant, finalists Anntonia Porsild, Moraya Wilson, and Sheynnis Palacios faced a thought-provoking query: “If you could live one year in another woman’s shoes, who would you choose and why?”
Anntonia Porsild selected Malala Yousafzai, citing admiration for her resilience. Moraya Wilson opted for her mother’s shoes, emphasizing the strength and valuable life lessons she received.
However, it was Sheynnis Palacios’s response that echoed through the hall, choosing Mary Wollstonecraft. Palacios envisioned breaking income gaps, allowing women limitless career choices. Her historical nod to Wollstonecraft, a pioneer of women’s rights, resonated profoundly.
Palacios’s impactful words became a precursor to her historic win as Miss Universe 2023 in El Salvador. She emphasized mental health advocacy, drawing from her own experiences. Despite her initial preference for behind-the-camera roles, Palacios aspires to use media for humanitarian causes.
Hailing from Managua, Nicaragua, Palacios faced personal challenges, supporting her family through an economic crisis. As she takes the global stage, she envisions running a newsroom, creating content, and championing mental health.
In a notable mention, Shweta Sharda, Miss India, reached the top 20, lauded by Miss Diva for her outstanding representation. Erica Robin, the first-ever Miss Universe Pakistan 2023, also earned a spot in this prestigious lineup.
