Asking about her views on beauty pageants, Kryst mentioned, "I can't say pageants make you beautiful. I think they make you more confident in the person that you are. I'm still that same weird kid. I still like reading books. And at the end of the day, I like to sit by myself in my house and just watch movies. But I think pageants taught me all that, and my mom was the one who introduced me to that and drew me to pageantry."

Congratulations to the diva!
