A post shared by Catriona Gray (@catriona_gray)

Catriona Gray might not be Miss World or Miss Universe Philippines anymore but she's still doing her part in advocating for the empowerment of women and other issues. In a recent Instagram post, the former beauty queen shared a video of herself giving a heartfelt speech on the power and value of women.

The video features an extended version of her speech during the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 competition. Unfortunately, Gray wasn’t able to attend the event in person. Still, her presence was felt when she delivered this speech on social media.

Wearing a checkered suit dress, Gray was every bit elegant and powerful throughout the video, which was almost a minute and a half long.

"When women raise their voices together, the words ‘women power’ become more than just a phrase – they become a movement," she says. In the background, inspirational and uplifting music plays, providing that extra firepower behind her message.
