Howe To Win Miss Venezuela w/ Keysi Sayago

[@Dpageantbuff]

Keysi brought Venezuela back in the Top 5 after their last win in 2013. So she was amazing! And she was very stunning

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

She is amazing ❤

[@lilpenny1982]

Was she in the same year as Cat when Philippines won Miss Universe 2018??

[@lilpenny1982]

I love the fact that she mentioned the BIG3 pageants like MU, MW and ME.

[@arroba107]

We absolutely LOVE Keysi back here in Venezuela. What a beautiful conversation, loved every second of it. Personally, I would hope for Keysi to come back to our country and be part of the Miss Universe Venezuela Organization. She's just awesome!

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

She would make for an exceptional head of any pageant organization. She really understands what it takes from both a contestant and a business perspective. Would love to see her in a bigger role running an MU org!

[@jeffersonmagbanua6879]

There were 2 dark-skinned Miss Venezuelas before Keysi: 1999 - Carolina Indriago 2006 - Jictzad Viña

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Thanks for contributing this! 🙏🏻 In the moment I can't check on things like this. Really appreciate it. Also, a pretty big time gap between Jictzad and Keysi

[@jeffersonmagbanua6879]

Yes, that's quite a time gap. I find Keysi really beautiful. Happy she won Miss Venezuela. As for my country (Philippines), we just crowned our 1st Miss Universe Philippines with African descent. ❤

[@Gerard945]

I remember Carolina, she was absolutely stunning 😍

[@sherwynphilip]

I love this. I love both of these women. Keysi gave me a better understanding of why pageantry is the way it is in Venezuela, and an appreciation for the strength and mental fortitude that Venezuelan women must possess to be able to do very well in the pageant industry. Lauren, I have missed hearing your voice and listening to your thoughts. Please do more of these kinds of interviews--with women in STEM especially.

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Thank you so much for sharing this! It's been a hot minute since I've been making content, but really happy to be back and doing it in a different way. I love that suggestion too and women in STEM is definitely on the radar! Is there anyone in particular that you're interested in?

[@sherwynphilip]

I learned that of all the Canadians with a STEM degree, 34% are women. Canadian women in STEM have come a long way, perhaps inspired in part or in whole by the great Elsie MacGill. I would love to hear stories about these amazing women in STEM like you, who are paving the way for girls who might one day wish to foray into a field so historically dominated by men. I think the world needs to hear more stories about women empowering other women, whether it be in pageantry, entertainment, governance, and especially in STEM. Thank you so much, Lauren. More power to you and to your channel. 💗

[@alwaysmycamera]

I remember Keysi so well. I remember their year. I was rooting for her so hard. Keysi if you read this, im your fan from Malaysia. I was hoping that she win that year. But she did amazing!!!

[@charlesquezon389]

I like her a lot and was rooting for her to win or get into top 3. She is referring to Carolina Indriiago, the first winner of MV of color in 1999, who competed with Ms Phils. and MU 1st runner-up Miriam Quiambao in Trinidad and Tobago., the best MU edition in my book.

[@karlmolina1209]

Love that batchmates are having a conversation.

[@Gsydney83]

I totally understand why KEYSI SAYAGO went AALLLL the Up to the Top5... SHE, is Refreshing, Positive and Uplifting - KEYSI was one of my Top Contenders in 2017 Miss Universe Edition and if it were to be repeated, I'd still support KEYSI Sayago Miss Venezuela 🇻🇪 ❤ 👑 and Laura Gonzalez Miss Colombia 🇨🇴 ... Fun Fact - I'm actually East African and we technically won that Edition through Demi Lee (Nel Peters) 🇿🇦

[@CyrilCybernated]

Keysi is so magnetic! Love her even more now. Kudos for breaking barriers 👏🏼

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Friends - who else would you like to see on the pod? What “how” questions do you have about the world or pageants? We’ve just launched and are planning some upcoming episodes. Would love to hear what/who you’re interested in!

[@Retroglamamour]

Ashley Callingbull and/or Emma Morrison 😍🙏🏻

[@Retroglamamour]

More of your year Miss Universe friends 😍🫶🏻

[@Retroglamamour]

UmaSofia Srivastava because for a 17 year old, girl is phenomenal!! 🙌🏻🔥 Even outside pageantry and her Teen USA win (which she may not be able to talk about), I’d love to know about her diverse family, if she’s visited family where her parents are from, and future ambitions ❤

[@unicorn8802]

Dani Walker!!!!

[@vicferger]

How the pageants can get the attention of the new generations of women? I think that the evolution of pageants along the time is a good issue

[@AndreDMalan1966]

Keysi is one of my FAVOURITE Miss Venezuelas❤❤❤❤

[@cincoperez5856]

this is a very refreshing perspective on pageantry! i hope this will reach other viewers! guys lets share this video! this deserves more audience!

[@mackoy9140]

I love this podcast. Keysi has this kind of peronality that when she speak, you cant stop not to listen her and walk away. i love her. Hoping to see some of the girls from your batch of Miss Universe 2017.😍💕💓

[@unicorn8802]

Love this podcast!!!!! Pls talk more about pageant! Invite Dani Walker too!!!

[@lilpenny1982]

She should also interview Luis Portellas who is Canadian and now lives in the Philippines as a pageant vlogger

[@mcrhonsweet]

We missed you, Lauren! More and more please!

[@reubenlaurente6619]

Thank you for sharing with us this episode. what you guys just spoke about not only applies to pageant but to life in general. GOD bless you both.

[@CONE57CONE57]

Love! Would love to hear more on Venezuelan pageantry, big players 👑

[@eduardoguerrero3704]

Keysi is such a Venezuelan sweetheart!!! Great interview.

[@DiariesOfLSnPG]

Both my favorite Queens. Smart and Eloquent. This is my definition of beauty. Beautiful thought process ❤❤❤ more please other topics

Thank you so much and will do! Are there any topics or people in particular that you're interested in?

This interview is amazing!!! Keysi is one of my favorite Miss Venezuela ever!!!! And of course, you're one of my fave Miss Canada ever, Lauren!!!! Your personalities, intelligence, and of course beauty that emanates from inside are in full display here. Love from the Philippines!!!!

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Oh my goodness Arnie! This is so kind of you - thank you and sending love right back!!! Salamat my friend 🙏🏻

[@amengsumagpao5514]

Keysi is my top bet in Miss Universe. I thought she will bring home the crown for Venezuela. She’s flawless!

[@SpedUpSongs2007]

Thank you Keysi and Lauren for sharing your experiences. Olivia Miss Australia 2017 also dropped a podcast with Tegan who was Australia in 2014 and they talked about their experiences as well! I’m so happy more women are sharing their experiences of MU. I been needing this for years to come now from more queens❤❤

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

This is awesome!! I’ll have to check that out (and definitely have Olivia on one day)

[@nelsongaivis1433]

Whoa this Miss Venezuela 🇻🇪 was totally lost, I did not even know that she was living in Canada 🇨🇦. Welcome to this wonderful country as many Venezuelans living here. Regards from Montreal. We all Hope to see you in another international contest, but this time representing 🇨🇦….Kaysi Sayago from Caaaaaanada !! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Retroglamamour]

This was an amazing conversation! I loved hearing Keysi’s experiences with pageantry, and even how their national pageant organized things. And loved both your ideas on how to improve Canada’s pageant scene! I think changes can definitely come in the future with new leadership :)

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Thank you!!! Couldn't agree more. Like any industry, there are opportunities for improvement and evolution :)

[@IanAndres25]

Omggg Lauren Howe didn't know you're back! One of my fave Canadian reps for MU

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Took a LONGGG break, but I"m back :)

Omg I love it! She made her own categories of haters! Werk

I love this podcast. You're a natural and it flowed so well.

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Thank you so much! With this being a new podcast, this means a lot. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@deeplywounded18]

I like the thought that Venezuela cares and have a high regard of their beauty queens..that they value their intelligence, etc.. sadly its not the same with other countries

[@jessicamejia2010]

Check out MRS America on how the pregnant gals do it lol. Mostly a lot of previous pageant and pregnancy experience helps to win. Personally, I think it would only work if your platform would revolve around pregnancy or postpartum; MRS. UNITED STATES - 2020. Just from experience, it's really really hard lol. I mostly like it because let's say it's an unplanned pregnancy; you don't lose your crown or chance to compete.

[@mondla2643]

I LOVE KEYSIIIIIIII!!!!!!! Iwant her to win then huhuhuhu

[@vicferger]

I support the changes in Miss Universe. I know that the age limit remove is controversial, but I think that the new women's generations give a critical view about "beauty pageants".

[@billyhandika4248]

Keysi is smart & charming. She's our lovely 3rd runner-up MU 2017

[@lilpenny1982]

I agree 100% but I disagree about her point of view of MGI. This minor pageant is a cooking show and has so many controversies (e.g. sexual assaults, food poisoning, fake faints, etc.) over the years.

[@otluse73]

I loved keysi then and continue to love her

[@ricklemus2297]

I enjoyed this scene and conversation

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

🙏🏻

[@gerardog8022]

[@lloydfider]

Weren't the top 3 in 2017 South Africa, Colombia and Jamaica?

[@hausofpageantry]

Yes

[@lloydfider]

@@hausofpageantry OK thanks for the clarification. The description said she was in the Top 3 so I was confused.

[@LaurenHoweOfficial]

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry. You are correct and I should have said Top 5. Thank you for the clarification

Bittersweet episode

[@lilpenny1982]

In the Western World (and woke countries) like Canada, pageantry is looked at as an old fashion and a degrading organisation. This is the main reason why companies like the fashion industry does not support pageantry in counties like Canada, USA, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and majority of countries in Europe.

[@vicferger]

Why pageants don't attract the new generations of women? There are a lot of girls participating in pageants in Western Europe and North America

[@lilpenny1982]

@vicferger Pageants are loathe and irrelevant in those areas. Perfect example is American companies no longer want to own Miss Universe

[@lilpenny1982]

@@vicferger To answer your question directly. Feminism gone wrong is the reason why.

[@PitoFe-zx1xk]

Blah, blah, blah... 😅
