During the competition’s Q&A portion, the Top 5 candidates answered the same question:
"If you win the title of Miss Universe tonight, how would you use this platform to empower young girls?"
“As Miss Universe, I will say to them, believe in the power of your authenticity. Believe in yourself, your dreams matter, your heart matters. And never let anyone make you doubt... your worth, because you are everything. And you are powerful, and your voice needs to be heard,” Bosch said.
The 74th edition of Miss Universe marked the pageant’s return to Thailand for the first time since Catriona Gray’s 2018 victory for the Philippines.
