Aspire Mentor Casey at the Miss International Press Conference

The stereotypes that are associated with being a contestant in a 'beauty pageant' are often negative and very frustrating. 

Anyone who has ever met me, knows I'm far from that stereotype and really want to reach out to others. 

I was completely unprepared for this conference and really did speak from the heart - as you can tell, I get a little tongue-tied and I drink lots of water!

But if you have some time to spare, please have a listen and see if you agree with anything I say. 

Having an opinion is important for everyone - it's how you discover who you are. You never have to agree with other's opinions, however, you should always be respectful other others' and they of yours.

Enjoy the watch!
