Catriona Gray has officially begun her Miss Universe duties with media appearances, and her first TV interview just revealed how beautiful she is inside and out.
Catriona has moved to her new home in New York after the holidays. One of her first stops as the Miss Universe titleholder was at the American television show, Good Morning America.
During the interview, the Pinay beauty queen recalled how her mom dreamt of her winning the crown in a red dress.
She said, “When I was 13 and she first told me, like I thought nothing of it you know. I was young, I didn't really have that interest in pageants yet. But to see it come to fruition was just like, 'Mom, are you hiding anything else about my future? I wanna know.'”
Catriona was also called “perfect” after she shared her passion in helping children have access to education and her intent to use her love for singing as a way to pay her blessings forward.
She said, “In the Philippines I work with an organization called Young Focus and what they do is they give access to quality education, which without NGOs like that, those kids might never realize the dream of having an education and developing a love for learning.
“Even as a Miss Universe, I would love to participate in a benefit concert or something like that to really merge my love for music and giving back. I think that would be amazing,” she added.
