The beauty queen strongly believes that the beauty of women can be exploited to seek social transformation. According to her physical beauty alone will not fetch success in life. One must also have intelligence and a philanthropic spirit in order to be a driver of social change. She genuinely believes in the bright future of Mexico as it is a free and democratic country, but is also aware of the fact that patriarchy and machismo still plague the Mexican society. According to her women are not taken into account as they deserve. She advocates that women are capable, determined and committed to the country and, like men, they can have the same opportunities to hold large-scale positions.
