The Story of Miss Universe Belize Iris Salguero

On Tuesday, Miss Universe Belize Iris Salguero got a hometown send off in San Pedro. A day before leaving the island on her journey to Miss Universe, Salguero was honoured with a farewell motorcade through the streets of the island town. Following the small parade, final preparations were made and today, the beauty ambassador arrived at the municipal airport in Belize City as the final stop before she departs the Jewel for Florida where the sixty-seventh Miss Universe pageant is set to take place. While she carries the weight of the crown to the international stage, Salguero is also taking her story – one of empowerment to women and children. News Five spoke with an emotional Salguero about her message.
