Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios is stepping into her next role. The beauty queen recently announced her conference in Miami titled "And Now What Do We Do?" This event will give a glimpse into her life after the crown.
On March 19, at Miami's Tower Theater, she plans to share her plans and answer that big question we all ask when a chapter closes. In her post, she invited everyone to join her at her conference, where she will speak for the first time after giving back her title as Miss Universe.
What This Means for Her Future
It is refreshing to see her honest take on life. She talked about how, whether you reach your goal or not, your hard work makes you ask, "And now what?" Her reflections on personal battles, challenges, and learning from experiences show us that every ending is just the start of something new.
In 2024, Sheynnis Palacios' reign as Miss Universe ended. After a remarkable year of global travels, participation in prestigious events, and engagement in various social causes, the Nicaraguan-born beauty queen embarked on a new chapter in her personal and professional life.
After the 73rd edition of the Miss Universe pageant —which took place in Mexico City—Sheynnis revealed her plans for life after she handed over the crown to her successor.
"It has exceeded my expectations. A year where I learned, grew, and gained lessons for what's to come," she said in an interview with En Casa con Telemundo. Looking ahead, she added, "I'd love to continue exploring every facet of my profession. I'm a Communications Specialist, and I want to dive into production, hosting radio shows, and writing."
Palacios also expressed a newfound interest in acting. For her modeling career, she's open to starring in high-profile campaigns and fashion shows.
Additionally, Sheynnis plans to dedicate significant time to Enciende tu Mente (Ignite Your Mind), which promotes mental health. She debuted this initiative before being crowned by her predecessor, R'Bonney Gabriel.
"I feel like I never had to play a character before, during, or after Miss Universe. I'm still the same Sheynnis, but now I'm eager to embrace my professional side as a communicator," she said.
She continued, "There's a bit more freedom now because there's a protocol as Miss Universe. No one could touch you or give you a kiss. Now, this next stage is all about the independent Sheynnis."
The Personal Touch: Inspiration and Support
Her authenticity is drawing support from everyone. Her boyfriend, Carlos Gómez, praised her, saying, "My love, what an inspiration to see you shine with so much authenticity and purpose." Influencers and pageant experts have been quick to cheer her on.
Friends like Mexican pageant expert Eli Zamora and Instagrammer Ramiro Barrios are all in, celebrating her unique gift for connecting with people. It feels like her message is a call to everyone who has ever questioned what comes next.
