Demi Ambrosio says "I found myself" with Mrs Gibraltar

Ms Demi Ambrosio is Mrs Gibraltar contestant No.3 and, for her, Mrs Gibraltar is about finding confidence and time for herself, regardless of the result. 

Q.- Demi, how is this experience for you?

R.- The experience has been absolutely brilliant. From making friends to lifelong memories, I've enjoyed every second. And I'll do it a hundred percent times. If I could, I'll do it again. Amazing.

Q.- And funny, right?

A.- Very funny. We've had ups and downs, but in general they've all been very good.

Q.- Why did you decide to go for this contest?

A.- I've always liked modelling. I've always been in the pageantry side. But when I became a mum at the age of 17, I stepped back. And my daughter won Little Miss Princess this year. And because I pushed her so much, I thought, why not go for it yourself? Do something for yourself and go back into it. That's the reason why I went back in.

Q.- And what do you think about Mrs Gibraltar as a contest? What is it about?

A.- It's more than a contest. For me, it's not been a contest. I found myself, I found my confidence. I found time for myself, which I haven't had, which you do normally have, but you don't find the time for yourself. So I've managed to find time for myself again daily, which makes a big difference with your mental health. In general, it helps you so much as a person. So much.

Q.- You know what? All of you have said the same on self-confidence about the pageant.

A.- I can imagine. I can imagine, because it does. As a mother, you do. You lose yourself on the way. Everything is you, work, kids, home... And this has given me that push, completely, and confidence.

Q.- Is this is a bit of learning for women empowerment, right?

A.- Definitely.

Q.- Do you think that from now on you're going to take a bit of time for you?

A.- A hundred percent. I don't want to go back to the old routine of what I was doing daily. So I already told everyone at home that I would be finding a hobby, or two, and keeping up with seeing the girls, maybe for coffee, and going out more. And doing more for myself.

Q.- What's your message for women?

A.- If you want to join, definitely join. And women in general, find yourself again. If you've lost yourself on the way, find yourself again, because it's inside you somewhere. It's never gone. We're there. So if you can, push yourself some way or the other, and find yourself, because it's worth it.

Q.- If you find yourself on this way, do you become a better version than you were before?

A.- Definitely, definitely, because you see things differently.

Q.- You're a mom.

A.- Yeah, of two. The eldest is going to be 17 in two weeks, and the youngest is going to be 7 in two weeks, so everything comes together. The show, the day before my kid's birthday, and three days later, my daughter. And my grandmother the day after the show, so it's all there, it's all there.

Q.- Good luck for you.

A.- Hopefully, thank you.

Q.- And I'm sure that regardless of the result, it's been a brilliant experience.

A.- Definitely. Thank you so much.
