For the second round of the Question and Answer portion, the final five contestants were asked one question, which was, “Miss Universe has inspired generations of women. What is your message to the ones watching you right now?”It was Chidimma Adetshina of Nigeria who first showcased her brilliance as she talked about being a beacon of hope for all of Africa. She stated, “As a woman who has faced adversities, I feel like I have a powerful story. I don’t stand here as Chiddima Adetshina; I stand here as a symbol of hope, a beacon of faith. As someone who has persevered with grace, I believe I have fought not only for myself, but for Africa.”She was followed by the Mexico’s Maria Fernanda Beltran, who expressed, “As my social project says, ‘say no to cyberbullying, cyber harassment. Right now, we’re in a huge problem that is social media. And the message that I want to give to the world is to fight, control, and adapt to this new situation with the emotional intelligence that we need to have. We need to have this emotional intelligence so we can control [those] emotions and with [those] emotions, we can give that message with no fears.”Next to take her turn was Victoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark, who enthused, “My message to all the world that is watching out there is no matter where you come from, no matter your past, you can always choose to turn it into your strengths. It will never define who you are. You just got to keep fighting. I stand here today because I want to change, I want to make history. And that’s what I’m doing tonight. So never give up, always believe in yourself and your dreams, and that is exactly what [we] are going to do.”Thailand’s Suchata Chuangsri, meanwhile, uttered, “To always believe and to always have hope. Working on my project OPAL FOR HER, I work with a lot of breast cancer patients and doctors. We all know that it is a hard thing to overcome this disease. But what I can feel is that everyone has hope. Everyone believes that tomorrow will be a better day. As long as you believe, your power is infinite. And as long as you have hope, your spirit and power will shine.”And lastly, Ileana Marquez of Venezuela, through the help of an interpreter, conveyed, “My message tonight is addressed to the most important persons in the world, not only the women here tonight but across the world. The crown tonight does not only go to the representative of Miss Universe tonight, but the crown goes to every single woman [who] has earned their respect, love, and visibility for us to be here tonight.”<div> </div>
