By Cynthia Montojo

"We've endured so much this year…this is a moment that we can take pride in…t'will bring us together because for a while, we've been so divided…this win is huge," newly crowned Miss Earth 2021 Destiny Wagner is still in cloud nine after being the first representative of Belize to bring home a title from an international pageant for her country.

During a virtual press conference following her coronation, Destiny said her victory means so much to her but more so to her country.

 "I am very thankful to be the first queen to place, however I have to make sure that I am not the last..that's what I will focus on in the next couple of years," Destiny added.

Aside from promoting her advocacies , sustainability of marine life and preservation of natural resources, and children's rights Destiny also shared what she wishes to accomplish during her reign.

"I wish to accomplish so much but right now, my country specifically has declined in eco-tourism or in tourism in general because of the pandemic…but what I want to accomplish is to promote my beautiful country and encourage everyone to come and visit us because right now, our economy really needs it... I am hoping to bring some light… I think with the win yesterday, I am doing just that and I am looking forward to doing more," Destiny said.

For Destiny, her motivation for winning was her team and everyone who stood by her side throughout the competition.

"I got appointed last minute and I got appointed as a replacement…a week after I got appointed, my videos were due…we had to rally together… I am so fortunate to have  great support system with family and friends, not only in Belize but throughout the entire world who came together and made sure that I had everything I needed in order to excel in this pageant…that was the highlight…they were my motivation and without them, I would not be here right now," Destiny said.

With Destiny, other winners of Miss Earth pageant were Baitong Jareerat Petsom of Thailand, as Miss Earth Fire 2021; Romina Denecken of Chile, as Miss Earth Water 2021; and Marisa Butler of  USA as Miss Earth Air 2021.
