Miss World Philippines 2019 Michelle Dee even introduces her two autistic siblings for the first time in public.
More than a week left and Michelle Dee's beauty with a purpose campaign for autism awareness has officially taken into light.
Michelle drew the conversation on autism and how it has affected her purpose for the pageant in her recent head-to-head challenge together with Miss World candidates Meghan Nimwiza of Rwanda, Danna Garcia of Aruba, Clauvid Dal of the Dominican Republic, and Rebecca Kwabi of Ghana.
In her introduction video for the competition, Michelle also introduced her two siblings, Mazen Marquez and Adam Lawyer, who are in the said spectrum.
She said, “Having grown up with two autistic siblings taught me the concept of purpose.
“Autism awareness isn't just an advocacy for me but a lifelong mission.
“I embarked on this journey driven with purpose and motivated by my heart knowing that this is bigger than myself. It is for my siblings, my family, my advocacy, and the Filipino people.
“I'm now living in a reality which wasn't a dream of mine when I was younger but was born purely out of purpose and passion.”
