A new Miss Universe has been crowned.
Among 84 contestants, USA’s R’Bonney Gabriel stood out winning the highly coveted title (perDeadline).
“My mom is from Beaumont, TX and my father is from the Philippines.
They got married in Manila Philippines,” Gabriel wrote in anInstagramcaption.
And that is something she is making headlines for, as she hopes to work to get that changed.
Gabriel is 28, which is the oldest a contestant can be to compete (viaThe Washington Post).
But, she plans to change that.
What’s another change you’d like to see and why?"
She responded, “I would like to see an age increase because I am 28 years old.
And that is the oldest age to compete.
Because as a woman, I believe age does not define us.
It’s not tomorrow, it’s not yesterday but it’s now.
The time is now.”
