"3 Years Crown-versary photo dump @missuniverse
"Crazy to think that 3 years ago today my dreams came true. And I'm infinately proud to have represented and brought pride to my country. To celebrate I'm sharing never seen before snaps from my MU journey. Enjoy.
"The years since my reign ended (Dec 2019) have been a rollercoaster. And I know I'm not alone in feeling like I've lost time. Time with loved ones - lost. Plans have been cancelled. Dreams delayed. Collectively, we have faced adversities and challenges. But I want to encourage you. Behind every hindrance is an opportunity. Behind every closed door, is one that is set aside, just for you, waiting to be opened. Behind every perceived denial, is a redirection. In God's perfect time, dreams come true. Please, just never, ever give up in the pursuit of your purpose."
