One of the reasons why the Ecuadorian representative Andrea Aguilera won the Miss Supranational 2023 crown is your ability to make your interlocutor feel like the most important person in the room, the person who has your full attention, although there are around a hundred cameras and acquaintances who want to get closer.

As Aguilera commented for this newspaper, it happens because everything is done out of love. “After my coronation, I had the opportunity to talk with the qualification jury, because we shared the panel of Mr. Supranational, and they told me the reason why they chose me: that I was always very spontaneous, that you could say that I was me, that I didn’t pretend and that I knew how to be very warm with people“, the beauty recalled upon arrival in the Pearl of the Pacific with her glittering crown.

I try to do everything out of love; even on my instagram, in my biography, it says that love is my superpower. I never have plans in my head or look for perfect words or a great speech, like a politician; everything I say and do is from the bottom of my heart.”

Welcome Andrea Aguilera! It was the arrival of Miss Supranational in Ecuador after winning the international pageant

That is why, Aguilera continues, in those seconds she opened her heart to meet the outcome that fate wanted for her.. “I was there, very present, and I just told myself that what God has for me will be and I will take it with a lot of love. So, when they already announced me and said ‘Ecuador’, that was it for me juiceI didn’t know if I was dreaming, if I had passed out and was imagining everything… But, the truth is, I experienced it as something beautiful, with all the presence and awareness I could have at that moment.“.

But luck is not responsible for his triumph either. Before Supranational, Aguilera participated in other pageants, such as Miss Grand International, and was the Queen of Los RĂ­os. “Experience is one of the most valuable things that human beings can acquire and give to others; It helped me to be here right now and know what a competition like this is looking for, which goes beyond beauty. Miss Supranational is no longer a beauty contest, but an experience whose slogan is ‘eager inspiration’, she thought..

“And this is what I want to do as Miss Supranational: inspire many young people like me who have gone through the problems that life brings us and tell them that we can overcome them, that there is always a way, and I want to be that inspiration“.
