00:00Miss World Potealoo, Telangana

00:05We are very proud to be here in Miss World Potealoo

00:07Miss World Potealoo, Telangana

00:10Hi, first of all, we wish you all the best

00:15So how are you feeling visiting Hyderabad and Telangana?

00:18And you are from which country?

00:20I'm from Ireland

00:22It's been an absolute honor to be here in Hyderabad

00:25And yesterday we actually went into the amazing Pearl City

00:28And it was just seeped in culture and history

00:31And it felt like a Disney movie walking through it

00:34So it was absolutely unreal

00:35We had the best time ever

00:37And we were in some pearl shops as well

00:39So beautiful, beautiful city

00:40We're honored to be here, thank you

00:42Before choosing this as your personal choice

00:45Do you have any profession or passion along with this?

00:49Yeah, so I'm a human rights lawyer

00:52I'm a paralegal, I have a law degree

00:54And a masters in human rights and European Union law

00:57So that is my day job

00:59And pageantry has always just been something that's elevated me in life

01:02And has definitely made the journey a lot more enjoyable

01:06As you are a human rights lawyer

01:08I just want to ask you one thing

01:10You are an young girl and human rights lawyer

01:12So many youngsters, they don't know what are their rights and what are the laws

01:16What's the message you want to give for the youngsters

01:18Who doesn't know about their rights and the laws which are supporting them?

01:22I think it's important when you have a platform like this

01:26That you really advocate for people who don't have a voice

01:29And you show them what they're entitled to, what their rights are

01:32And how for me personally I advocate for education

01:35And I go around to so many schools all around the world

01:37Telling them how important education is

01:39And how their right to education is the key out of poverty

01:43So I guess it's all about informing people about what the rights are

01:47So have you felt when you visit the schools

01:49You go back to your school days or how have you felt?

01:52Yeah, I mean when I go into the little classrooms with like kids that are five or six or four

01:58They're so adorable and I've had the amazing pleasure of writing my own book

02:03So I'm able to actually go in there and read my own book to my old primary school

02:07Which I attended when I was that age

02:09So it's really special for me

02:11And you know to see all their smiles on their faces

02:13And the feelings that they have inside and the happiness

02:16It means the world to me

02:17It definitely has nostalgia and feelings attached to it, yeah

02:21So beauty is not about just physical appearances

02:24It is about heart

02:25And you are working for the children and the human rights

02:28So it's very good to know that

02:30But what is the purpose behind this beautiful girl?

02:33Yeah, I think it's so important in life to have a purpose and to have a mission

02:38Every single girl at this pageant comes not just with being beautiful

02:42But with having a purpose in life

02:44And actually, you know, having an advocacy that they fight for

02:47For the whole year during their reign

02:49And it's really admirable

02:50And I think it's not what's on the outside that makes you beautiful

02:54But definitely what's on the inside

02:56So you're from which country and you're here for the last few days, no?

03:01So how was the situation here and you like the food here?

03:04Yes, so my name is Shania Raista and I come from Gibraltar

03:07And honestly, the day, the moment that I've arrived

03:10Everyone has been amazing, the hospitality

03:12I think no other country can be telling Ghana

03:15Honestly, they've been amazing, welcoming

03:18And honestly, so grateful to be here

03:20So thank you for having me

03:21The food here has been amazing

03:23In Gibraltar, actually, we're very multicultural

03:25Therefore, we do have Indian cuisine

03:27We have Chinese, we have Moroccan

03:29We have a variety of foods

03:30Therefore, I am quite used to the food here

03:32And I love spice, so that's good

03:35Which food you really loved here?

03:38Is there any Telangana cuisine you liked?

03:40Actually, it's a dessert, sorry

03:42I'm not quite sure what the name is

03:43But I know it's a fried onion

03:46Dressed with some kind of custard syrup

03:48It reminds me of Shuru, so it does remind me of home

03:51Yeah

03:52The dress you are wearing is full of pink

03:55Which is feminine

03:56So, what the purpose you want to have in your future?

04:01The purpose you are carrying in this Miss World

04:04Is there any, particularly for women?

04:07Yes, actually, I'm here advocating for mental health

04:10Which I feel is very close to my heart

04:12As many family members of mine suffer from mental health issues

04:15Especially here, I'm here to send a message

04:17No matter what, despite who you are

04:19Despite if you are suffering from mental illness

04:22You are, you can do anything

04:24Anything is possible, you just have to put your mind to it

04:26So, mental health is the one biggest problem in these days

04:30And no one wants to talk about this

04:32So, what the message you want to give for the people who are suffering with the mental health?

04:36How important it is to address about that?

04:39Yes, so mental health issues is quite a big issue at the moment

04:42However, it's not really being actioned

04:44Therefore, I stand here today to send a message

04:47And I have been fortunate enough to work with Clubhouse Gibraltar

04:51Which focuses on building skills, on building confidence

04:55So, therefore, it is important to work on yourself and to have the great support of others

04:59Thank you so much, all the best for the finals

05:02Thank you so much

05:03So, with whom you also have to do the human rights
