QUESTION AND ANSWER PORTION
For those who missed the question and answer portion, here is Montagne’s winning answer.
Question: Do you think beauty is a merit and how can we enrich it with other values?
Montagne: I think that true beauty comes from within. To be a Miss Globe is to be a beauty that inspires. What makes us beautiful is our smiles, it’s what we do for our community. It’s how we give back to others, and it’s how we carry ourselves through lives. I believe that everyone has beauty in inside of them, and I believe it is our duty to share it with the world, and to give back, and to truly inspire others.
