(#1) Ryanne Busropan @ryanne.vicky

I stand before you, filled with #excitement and #gratitude to be part of this unforgettable experience. My name is Ryanne Busropan, and I am 29 years old, and I was born and raised on this beautiful island, we call #Curaçao. My journey to this stage is to be of great inspiration for everyone. I want to inspire anyone who has a dream, a goal or something they would like to achieve. Everything is possible if you really #believe in yourself. You are the greatest project you will ever work on. I believe that #Beauty comes from within and radiates outward.

My goal during #MissCuraçao2024 goes beyond winning a crown; it is to be a voice for those who have no voice, to inspire and be inspired.
To be the girl who chose to go for everything she has set herself to go for.

(#2) Tiara Sluis @tiarasluis

I'm 24 years old and I'm currently studying Applied #Psychology at the University of Curaçao @uocuracao.

My hobbies are #singing, #dancing, #fashion, #sports and learning languages of which I speak about 7, to name a few, #Korean and #Portuguese. In my free time I find solace at the beach, where the sun and ocean ground me. I believe that authentic beauty shines when you embrace yourself fully, and that includes taking care of your mental health. That is why I am standing here before you all, advocating for the importance of self-love, mental wellness, and embracing one's true self.

I am incredibly excited to showcase my talents, share my story, and connect with you all. Thank you for your support and let us embark on this extraordinary journey together.

( #8 ) Saide Carvajal @i.am.saide

In the heart of the vibrant #Caribbean, amidst the azure waves and sun-kissed shores of #Curaçao, a star was born. My name is Saide Carvajal, a beacon of multicultural

richness and boundless ambition Saïde means joy in #Arabic, hints at the sparkling spirit that defines my essence. I am 34 years old and I studied International Business & Management Studies in #TheHague in #TheNetherlands. My minors were Entrepreneurship, Branding & Sustainability. My project for Miss Universe Curaçao will be #sustainability, I will be focusing on #agriculture, #recycling and
locally made products. Curaçao is a melting pot with diverse cultures,

just like me, I have different ethnicities, I am half English, my grandfather was from #StLucia one of the #British islands and my mother has #Lebanese heritage while my father comes from #Venezuela. This journey will be a tribute to my ancestors as I am a melting pot.
I consider myself a sensitive and kind person, but I am also hard working and go getter.. I have always wanted to participate in Miss Universe Curaçao, ever since I was a child as it is very much part of our culture in Venezuela and while growing up, we always used to watch @MissUniverse therefore also @MissVenezuela and of course Miss Curaçao, so being part of this journey is a dream come true.

Now I am working in the import business, I work for a retail company on the island that is we know as Building Depot, which I am proud to be a part of the team as I have always loved the company's culture, which is very local
and it reminds me of when I used to go shopping with my mother.

Finally, I am immensely proud of where I come from and that I was born on this beautiful island we call Curaçao!

(#9) Liandra Lindeborg @liandralindeborg

Miss Universe 2022 @rbonneynola said it perfectly: "If it's not now, when?" Because as a #woman #age doesn't define us.
Thanks to her the door has opened for all women of different ages to compete for the title of Miss Universe. That's why I'm standing here being a voice of inspiration for all women of #Curaçao who once thought that this dream was over.

Also, I want to be an encouragement of resilience for every person who is going through grief. You may ask who this brave 35 years old woman is, well I am Liandra Lindeborg, beauty with brain and heart.
