CelebridadesTranscripción
00:00Please tell us how you feel in these first few days.
00:02Thank you so much, I'm truly very happy, I think it's a blessing.
00:07I am a lucky woman to be able to fulfill my dreams and to be here with you.
00:11Thank you for the interview and for giving me this space.
00:14Well, actually, before I heard my name, I was quite nervous.
00:19I think it's even a moment of anxiety where you can't feel certain parts of your body,
00:25I couldn't feel my legs anymore, I was completely exhausted, very, very tired, and then finally when I heard
00:32María Vargas, that new Miss Universe Mexico, brings to mind many pieces of my life
00:39where I felt tired, where I wanted to throw in the towel, where I thought I couldn't go on anymore
00:44and immediately it came like a burst of energy into my body, like this feeling of, yes, of peace,
00:54but at the same time, energy, what's coming, what's next, excitement,
00:58This tiredness turned into a lot of energy; I really couldn't sleep well that night because of the excitement.
01:05And it had been many weeks of exhaustion; I kept saying that as soon as I touched the bed I was going to collapse.
01:10And well, no, I think that suddenly fulfilling your dreams is what changes your life forever.
01:16And not because of what happens outside, but because of what happens internally.
01:19Tell me a little about the process and what you take away from this experience.
01:22Okay, well look, yes, I had previously looked for it in another administration.
01:28And well, it was a little difficult; sometimes being yourself is a bit disruptive.
01:36in the sense that I am a woman who sets boundaries, I am a woman who always speaks out,
01:40who always asks questions, I think people aren't always ready for you to ask them.
01:45so that you question, so that you set limits on what you think or what you believe
01:50And well, that had caused me quite a few problems, even getting doors closed to me in other organizations.
01:56They would say things to me like, "You're not docile," "Women like you don't win," "Women like you are just bald-headed."
02:03And well, I mean, I feel a bit out of place in my current organization.
02:07This feeling that, despite everything someone else has criticized you for, someone will open doors for you.
02:12It's disruptive, it's curious, I think I still haven't gotten used to the feeling of being so myself in this
02:19space,
02:20So unique, so pleasant, the truth is that I have a great relationship with my organization,
02:26I feel that I am a woman who is here to transcend the idea that it doesn't matter where you come from,
02:31No matter your roots, no matter how humble your past may have been,
02:35You will always have the opportunity when you are courageous, consistent, persevering, and resilient.
02:42And even if you want to throw in the towel, even if they close the door on you a thousand times,
02:47Stay true to your desires, stay focused and sooner or later it will happen to you.
02:52Why do you think you finally won the crown?
02:55What else set you apart, in your opinion, now that you're starting to see the process a little more clearly?
02:59Yes, well I think my attitude, I've always been available, I've always been open to being told
03:06You can improve this; you can arrive earlier; you have time to record another take.
03:10And if we do this, I also believe that my attitude of always proposing options will...
03:16Hey, wouldn't you like us to do this? How about this?
03:19And so I think that this whole part of enjoying it, of being myself, of having something to contribute,
03:24That night always brought me victory.
03:27Personally, I don't think I'm a queen who's always smiling.
03:31She's always acting angelic, I think I have a very unique essence
03:35And so, what I have to contribute is to tell you that your appearance doesn't matter.
03:40It doesn't matter if you're not smiling all the time, as long as you essentially have something to contribute.
03:45as long as you essentially have a spirit of service, a good attitude, gratitude,
03:50That will take you to great places.
03:53She's a beauty queen to you today, what does it mean to be a beauty queen?
03:56Obviously, as I said, the concepts have changed a lot, right?
03:59Well, for me a beauty queen is an authentic woman, a woman who knows how to carry her essence
04:03at another level, who knows how to say who they are, how they dress, how they speak, how they interact with other people,
04:11That's extremely important, but from your essence, from who you truly are.
04:16Not trying to be a stereotype, if someone else raised their hand to do it, copy.
04:21I don't think she's a woman who knows how to be unique at all, and for me, that's what a beauty queen is.
04:27a unique woman who knows how to live her beauty authentically.
04:30Who are you really? I mean, outside of the crown, right?
04:33It brings a little bit to your everyday life, doesn't it? Your roots, where you come from,
04:36I think that's much more important nowadays than wearing a dress, a crown,
04:41if you don't really know who you are.
04:43Thank you, well, it really shocks me that you're talking to me about this because I come from a noble family,
04:49of humble roots, from people who work the land, the countryside,
04:52of people who get up with the sun and go to sleep the same way.
04:57And well, my family really taught me the value of work, the value of things having to cost you something.
05:04My dad has cattle, he works in construction, and well,
05:08In other words, just like my image, a bit disruptive, which is what you find in my day-to-day life,
05:12Among the cattle, with the cows, I think I'm a woman who knows how to do absolutely everything.
05:17I've had the opportunity to own skincare and food businesses; I even owned a restaurant.
05:25I also know about livestock, I know about wheat, I know about land, about corn, I know perfectly well about many subjects,
05:32including construction, trucks, cubic meters, and sand.
05:35I am a very diverse woman, and I believe that has also made me who I am today.
05:40It has allowed me to be in these places and to tell people around the world...
05:45You are not defined by where you come from, nor by where there is or isn't something.
05:50opportunities,
05:51You create your own opportunities when you conquer what you want every day.
05:55And you are determined in what you are doing, without forgetting your roots,
05:59without forgetting the value of family.
06:01For me, my family is everything: my dad, my mom, my siblings,
06:05It's a space I wouldn't trade for anything; it's where I recharge, it's where I find myself loved.
06:11where I find myself, my dear, and well, that's the essential thing, that's the value for me and my family.
06:15What are you like as a girl, and if this topic, that of becoming a queen or looking towards pageants, comes up...
06:23beauty,
06:23Was this a goal you had set for yourself since you were a child?
06:25Look, I was about nine years old when Jimena Navarrete from Jalisco won my universe
06:31In 2010, I was watching television with my dad, and my mom was combing my hair to get me ready for school.
06:37And they interrupted the news broadcast to say that a woman from Jalisco had made a global impact.
06:44And for me it was very impressive because in the environment where I moved,
06:48The women didn't do anything extraordinary, or so I had been led to believe.
06:52So the women took care of their children, had more children, cooked, cleaned, and that was it.
06:59In other words, that was where the story I had seen of the women ended.
07:03While they were doing my hair, while this was happening, I said, okay, they're pausing the television,
07:09They're stopping the news because of something a woman did.
07:13This must be important, this must mark a before and after, or at least for me.
07:18He marked it
07:18And it was like, okay, I want to transcend someday, I also want the news to stop someday
07:23And say, a woman from Jalisco is doing this as a beauty icon without taking away my
07:28everything else that also comes with being the woman I am, which is the countryside, which is my family,
07:34which even includes doing the cleaning because they have to know that a beauty queen
07:38Obviously, she also cleans her things, she also keeps things organized, she also does everything else
07:42And she also has time to be beautiful and she also has time to communicate it
07:45And well, that's enriching, that motivated me, and that's what has me here today.
07:50Look, I was in a gym for the first time when I was about 20 years old
07:55And I was on the treadmill, I'll never forget it, and a boy approached me,
07:59His name is Osvaldo. Osvaldo, if you're doing this, I'm sending you a greeting and a big hug.
08:04And he told me that if I wasn't a beauty queen, he said, you're not a beauty queen and
08:08I don't.
08:10Then he tells me, you should, you look very pretty, you're very beautiful, I don't know what
08:13And I just played along, I said, 'Oh yes, thank you very much,' and that's where it ended for me.
08:18talk
08:18And the next day he showed up with a sheet from a beauty pageant.
08:22in which they combined all the requirements to be queen, right?
08:25You have to be a certain height, be single, I don't know what else, I mean, there were some requirements there.
08:30And she said to me, let's see if you have them, let's borrow some heels
08:34Because I remember perfectly that I didn't even wear heels.
08:37And so at the gym, during the time I went to the gym, which was two hours
08:41It was my break from university, we started practicing and then I went to my first casting call
08:46To try to become a state, sorry, a state, they gave me a municipality, I became Zapopan
08:52And that's how I started beauty pageants, literally, and I say, a descent to the beat of drums from the hill
08:58They would speak ill of where I am, so, well, it was impressive
09:02The truth is that that experience left a mark on me; I didn't live it the way I would have liked.
09:05And well, that brought countless things into my life
09:08No, I think I've always been a rebellious woman, I've always been a different, disruptive woman.
09:13I always asked questions, always. I think people who ask questions are awkward people.
09:18The people we question are not always the most loved by those around us.
09:23Because what is already established is like a law of life.
09:27And when you arrive and ask, "Why are we doing this? Why don't we go in through this door?"
09:31Why is the entrance this way and the exit that way?
09:33That always generates controversy, it always caused me problems
09:36And from that point on, well, after my first experience in a beauty pageant
09:41So I decided to ask myself what I was like, why I was like that
09:45And I wrote a book called The Queen of Problems
09:48And well, those problems and all these qualities that are now qualities for me
09:53which for other people were problems
09:54I made them into a crown and put my problems on my head
09:58And I wear them now with great pride.
10:00And well, I'm trying to help people who feel lost.
10:05who feel they can't find their way in this stage of adolescence
10:08where I experienced it
10:09And so I'm giving lectures, I'm using my voice
10:12to help other people feel safe in their own skin
10:15What is the most rebellious act you remember that gave your parents a fright when
10:20Were you a girl?
10:21Well, there were many, I don't know, I was 3 or 4 years old
10:24The first time I arrived at my parents' house, I was all made up and like that
10:27I had been bought some paints and it was like I was only going to use them on Sunday
10:31When we go to mass, I don't know what
10:33And then I arrived and all the paints were gone.
10:35She had her whole face made up.
10:37I even used the lip product on my eyes
10:39I mean, I got creative
10:41And my dad laughed
10:42My dad really said it like my mom did.
10:44I told her, Erika, let her do it
10:46And my mom, no, why are you like this?
10:48My mom is a woman who doesn't wear makeup.
10:49that she doesn't like high heels
10:51My mother is really very simple.
10:53And well, I came to be radical, didn't I?
10:56to be completely different
10:58And it was even more curious because, well, nobody had taught me.
11:00They were saying, "Where did he get it?"
11:02So, why is she like that?
11:03if you haven't seen anyone behave that way
11:06And well, I really don't know where I got it from.
11:08It was something I liked
11:10I always lived it in my own way.
11:13And well, I think that's one of the anecdotes.
11:15that I remember most
11:15Yes, I'm the oldest of five.
11:18It's me, three women, and one man.
11:21Well, it's a bit complicated.
11:23to be the oldest in the family
11:25I believe it is also a responsibility
11:27And well, I think that after me
11:29My parents were immune to shocks.
11:31I already stopped myself once.
11:32I think it's been a little easier
11:34working with my brothers
11:35They ask me, how do you deal with criticism?
11:37I think Copalita, which is my ranch
11:39She taught me how to live with criticism
11:41once you've been through that
11:43You say, well, that's it
11:44Let the world talk about me
11:45Let the world turn
11:46Don't you consider yourself lucky in love?
11:48Have you ever been very prone to falling in love?
11:49Or because of your parents or your family
11:50or because of your background
11:51Was the matter a bit more discreet?
11:53Well, I don't think it was because of my family.
11:55That's a topic I've chosen.
11:57I never wanted the elections
11:59that I have in love define me
12:01That's something I'm going to tell you very honestly.
12:03For me, love is like meat in your house
12:05You have to keep it in the freezer
12:07And it's something you enjoy, for yourself.
12:09So it's a topic I maintain
12:10Well, it's 100% private
12:12Who was the first person you saw
12:13Or who did you celebrate with?
12:14opens up a bit about the elections
12:15because everything is very fast
12:16They put the crown on you.
12:17and you have to leave immediately.
12:18to give lectures
12:19exact
12:19But tell me a little bit
12:20Who did you share it with at that moment?
12:21Well, the first person to come on stage
12:23He was my brother
12:24I have a 10-year-old brother
12:26His name is Humberto
12:27And then he came running.
12:29I mean, I think that
12:31Suddenly you don't know
12:32how much you impact the lives of others
12:34He is the one who has taught me the most.
12:36that things can
12:38I mean, he tells me
12:38Maria, you've achieved everything!
12:40I don't know, suddenly
12:42You don't see the impact you have
12:43until someone you love
12:45it tells you
12:46Everything is possible because you can
12:47Or I know I'm going to achieve it
12:49He wants to be a footballer
12:50and he always tells me
12:51Everyone tells me
12:52that I'm not going to be a professional footballer
12:53But I know I will be
12:55Because you can be a beauty queen
12:57Because you have achieved this
12:58so
12:58I mean, it's a responsibility.
13:00but at the same time
13:01It's something really beautiful.
13:02which I carry with great affection
13:03I carry it in my soul
13:05is something that
13:06that has marked me
13:07suddenly it's a responsibility
13:09Like I said
13:09to say
13:10Well, after I've done this
13:11and doing this
13:12What else am I going to do?
13:13to continue demonstrating
13:14Yes, it can be done
13:15that always
13:16We're going to get through this
13:18oh well
13:19I am in God's hands
13:20and the best of all
13:21He knows what my destiny is.
13:23and how far are we going to go
13:24It's a topic that really moves you.
13:25I see, don't I?
13:26Well, it's that vulnerability
13:28It's part of life
13:29I believe that people
13:30that we really are strong
13:32It's because we have
13:32a big heart
13:34although we hide it a little
13:36And well, nothing happens.
13:37I think that
13:38My family deserves
13:39my vulnerability
13:40my love
13:40my resilience
13:41In other words, my family deserves
13:42absolutely everything
13:43because they have given me everything
13:44and well
13:45no problem
13:46Yes, it's a topic.
13:48that moves me a lot
13:49Because, well, I'm telling you
13:50where I come from
13:51women
13:52We are not always appreciated
13:53Well, I don't know.
13:55you need
13:56to have a very clean house
13:57to have a family
13:58many children
13:59or being educated
14:00in a way
14:01memorable
14:02to your children
14:02so that they take you into account
14:04or give you a place
14:04in society
14:05and well
14:05I think I'm coming
14:06to say
14:07Okay, there are more ways
14:09Enough
14:10Stop right there.
14:11And they appreciate me.
14:12from another place
14:13And I think that
14:13we are learning
14:14as a family
14:15and also
14:16See this other part
14:17and also recognize
14:18that a woman can be worth
14:19and have
14:20Well, that's a contribution
14:21in society
14:22from another place
14:22What is your biggest dream?
14:24Well, I'm here
14:25currently in it
14:26I am living
14:27my dream
14:27of being my universe
14:28I obviously need it
14:29a step towards achieving
14:30literally to the universe
14:32entirely
14:32but I think
14:34that this was my dream
14:35to be able to deliver a message
14:37to be able to tell people
14:38Yes, it can be done
14:39to be able to tell them
14:40that the Mexican
14:41not only
14:42That's what you see
14:43in the news
14:43the bad news
14:45the mark of misfortune
14:48mark sadness
14:49Mexicans can too
14:50Mexican too
14:51It goes forward
14:52The Mexican is a friend
14:53The Mexican is a compatriot
14:55Mexicans are joy
14:56Mexicans are resilient.
14:58Mexicans are respected.
14:59We are therefore polar opposites
15:01but at the same time
15:02we complement each other
15:03What are your expectations?
15:04for Puerto Rico
15:05Just for now
15:06we are already
15:06a couple of months?
15:07Look at the truth
15:08The thing is, I don't have any expectations.
15:09I am a person
15:10who lives for the day
15:11who works
15:12he tries
15:13is constant
15:14And so he tries
15:16to be your best self
15:16every time
15:17So I think that
15:18expectations
15:19are towards me
15:20expectations
15:21They are in terms of my development
15:22as for what I
15:23I can contribute
15:24And that's what I'm working on.
15:25focusing
15:25Well, I think I would tell them
15:27that they don't give up
15:29that the road is long
15:31that there are routes
15:33very heavy
15:34There are nights
15:34very dark
15:35but it is precisely
15:37in this darkness
15:37where it forces you
15:39Light your own light
15:40and to light your own light
15:41It is a process
15:42It is a process
15:43to accept your shadow
15:44It is a process
15:45also to know
15:46recognize
15:46where we went wrong
15:48and well
15:49that once you recognize
15:50where you went wrong
15:51the healthiest
15:52for everyone
15:53It is to offer an apology
15:54and be able to continue
15:56move forward
15:57That's the advice
15:58that I give him
15:58to all people
15:59that same
16:00as you say
16:01I think
16:02Well, very strong.
16:03the topic
16:04idol
16:04But if you see me
16:06like an idol
16:07I only ask you
16:08that you see my story
16:09with impartiality
16:10Take what works for you.
16:12and what doesn't work for you
16:13Leave it there.
16:14because I don't consider myself
16:15perfect
16:16I have a path
16:17that travel
16:17I am living
16:18my own life
16:19And that's what it is.
16:20I recommend it to people
16:21let them live their own lives
16:22because currently
16:23well, a lot of people
16:24live life
16:25of the others
16:26I want to send a greeting

16:33and of course
16:34that they don't get lost

16:36He needs this back-to-back
