“My mom as robust as she is, raised me to be pleased about what I’ve and confirmed me all of the love on the planet”.

Minsk hosted the annual worldwide beauty pageant Mrs Universe for the first time.

The Mrs. Universe 2015 Fb web page says the subject for this yr’s occasion was “Home Violence and Reflection over Youngsters”.

Winning has catapulted the actress and model into the national and worldwide spotlight.

Tune in tonight at 7:30 p.m.to hear more about Burnham and her success.

She encourages anyone to follow their dreams no matter where they come from. Burnham shared her initial reaction to the trending news by posting a screengrab earlier today.

“It was troublesome to develop up the best way I did, however it made me respect every part I’ve and most significantly made me the robust lady I’m immediately”.

She is using her voice to raise awareness of issues affecting Canada’s Indigenous people.

“Fear had held me back for so long”.

As a former finalist in the 2013 Miss Universe Canada contest, when she was then Ashley Callingbull, she noted that she grew up in poor conditions and faced difficulties in childhood that she finds hard to talk about.

She has worked for the Stollery Children’s Hospital, SOS Children’s Villages, and the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation, among other organizations.

After leading a workshop or talking circle, Burnham keeps in contact with the people she meets.

She also appears as a character in the TV drama series, Blackstone, about an aboriginal community in Canada which airs on the Aboriginal network APTN in Canada, CBC, the Canadian public broadcaster, Showcase, and Maori Television in New Zealand.

“No matter what your background is or what you’ve been through in your life you can push yourself to reach the success that you dream of”, she said. She said that while she got a lot of support, she was also the target of racist comments. She wore a custom-made jingle dress during the pageant’s Parade of Nations and said her European audience was intrigued by the outfit.

“I think having her as an advocate will definitely bring it to the forefront”, she said.
