TNE: So true! With such a variety of cultural backgrounds, how important is it for contestants to embrace their heritage throughout the competition?
EM: It’s crucial! Many contestants utilize the pageant platform to share their culture, traditions, and values. This not only highlights their individuality but also educates the audience about their respective backgrounds. Embracing one’s culture can often make a strong impact on judges, who seek authenticity in their choices.
