@manalochelsea: To be the first woman with darker skin to wear the Miss Universe Philippines crown is more than a personal achievement—it’s a celebration of diversity, resilience, and self-acceptance. Growing up, I didn’t always see faces like mine in the world of beauty queens, but I learned that beauty isn’t defined by a single shade, shape, or standard. It lives within the authenticity we bring to the world, the courage to embrace ourselves fully, and the belief that we are enough, exactly as we are. This crown is not just for me, but for every person who has felt unseen, unheard, or underestimated. May my journey remind you that our uniqueness is our power, and self-love is our foundation. To anyone who has ever doubted the beauty within them—keep pushing forward. Know that you, too, have the strength to break boundaries, to redefine beauty, and to inspire others along the way. Let’s continue to build a world where all shades, all voices, and all dreams are celebrated. ✨🌍 Photography, Creative Direction & Produced by : Seven Barretto @sevenbarretto Art Direction: @erwnbotin of @botinstudios Styling: @parisroxas Photography team: @claudevillahrmsa @darielmiraflor@studio7manila Special thanks to: @jonasempire.ph @paolojarevalo@mau_s_deleon @eljohnmendoza @gemorpilla@themissuniverseph #ManaloSaMexico #Chel5ea #ChelseaManalo #MissUniversePhilippines2024 #chelSEEyouintheUniverse #EmpirePh #MissUniverse #MissUniverse2024
