At the Jose Adolfo Pineda Arena in San Salvador, El Salvador, on Saturday night, the 72nd edition of the Miss Universe pageant was conducted. The event was celebrating its 72nd year.

The competition resulted in Miss Thailand Anntonia Porsild being named the event’s first runner-up, and Miss Australia Moraya Wilson being named the event’s second runner-up.

R’Bonney Gabriel of the United States of America, who held the title of Miss Universe for 2022, was the one to bestow the crown upon Palacios.

According to the website for the Miss Universe pageant, Palacios is a mental health activist and audiovisual producer from Managua, Nicaragua. She is 23 years old.

“She usually prefers to be behind the camera, but she’s come out of the wings because she believes in finding solutions for as many of the problems in the world as she can.” “She believes in finding solutions for as many of the world’s problems as she can.”

“Being the kind of person who enjoys finding solutions to challenges, she supported herself through the communications program at her university by working in the snack business owned by her mother.

As a result of the economic downturn, her mother moved to the north in search of better work, and as a result, she became the primary source of financial and emotional support for her grandmother and younger brother, as stated in the Instagram post published by the organization.

Because Palacios has dealt with anxiety in the past, she has decided to make promoting mental health her platform if she wins the title of Miss Universe 2023.

“Being from a nation in which this topic is hardly ever discussed, she devised an approachable program that she calls ‘Understand Your Mind,’ in which she does televised interviews with professionals in the field of emotional care. In addition to that, she has produced events and several other multimedia projects centered on this topic.

“Her mission in life is to work in the service of humanity by managing a newsroom and creating content and commercials for international brands,” and this will be accomplished by her. She enjoys a challenging mental game or puzzle in her leisure time, and she volunteers her time to help stray cats and dogs, according to the group.

Palacios was victorious over competitors from an additional 83 countries, one of whom was Miss India Shweta Sharda, who was included in the list of the top 20 contestants.

Sharda received congratulations from the official Miss Diva Instagram account on the success of her campaign at the competition.

As soon as our LIVA Miss Diva Universe 2023, Shweta Sharda was called into the Top 20, we knew we had a winner. Shweta, the people of this country are really pleased with your performance, and we can’t wait to show you all the love and support we offer when you return. “We’d like to extend our gratitude for flying our flag so proudly at the @missuniverse competition,” the organization wrote in the post.
