Apart from being the Brazilian beauty queen and an international model, Lala is also a medical university student in her 4th and final year. The diva is finally pursuing her passion for medicine. Guedes’ biggest ambition has been to be remembered as someone who did something positive to the world. She wants to make her voice to be heard and this way take big steps against woman's violence and inequality. She also dreams about have her own hospital where she can help a lot of people.

After representing and making her country proud at one the biggest international pageants, Lala is all set to give back to the people of her country with her knowledge of medicine. She has been a highly appreciated name in the fashion industry as she started her career as a model at the age of 14 and by the time, she was 17, Lala was a renowned international model.

She has been raising awareness about the medical field and very recently regarding the covid-19 vaccination. She took the opportunity to set an example and also remind her followers about the importance of immunization, not only against COVID-19, but also for all other diseases that have vaccination coverage, asking them to lookout for their health and update their medical checkups.

During her special speech as the Top 5 finalist at Miss Grand International 2020, Guedes poured her heart out as she spoke, “5 years ago I decided to dedicate my life to taking care of people's health and through that to provide a better life and hope. But 2020 came to challenge my beliefs and my faith. More than two million people around the world have died from COVID-19. I'm talking about a hug that won't happen again, from a mother, from a father, from the love of someone's life. I can see fear through people's eyes but I haven't lost my faith, and I won't let fear control me. And that's why I'm here tonight, to say I'm here for you! We'll get over it, but I also need each of you to be there for me. Protect yourselves so you can protect others, do this for me, for my family and yours, for every soldier who is fighting to save us. Unity is what we need, since we worked together we were able to produce a vaccine in less than a year. So I say to you, the power of one can save all, the same power of Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela, I have that power and so do you! So let's not waste another minute, let's start using this time to face not just this challenge, but any threat that attacks our humanity!”

Lala Guedes is a true inspiration to look up to with a beautiful personality inside out.

Congratulations, Queen Doctor!
