At 28, Houston native R'Bonney Gabriel, and newly crowned Miss Universe, is focused on...
"I'm very clu'msy, but I try to play it cool."Helping to save the environment through sustainability is part of her mission as Miss Universe, but she developed the passion as a young girl.
Learning how to sew was part of that effort. While attending Elkins High School, Gabriel would frequent a"gathering of grandmothers" who sewed in her Houston neighborhood. They taught her their dressmaking skills. That led to the job with Magpies & Peacocks."We've watched her train beyond measure for Miss Texas, Miss USA and Miss Universe while working with us, and she has stayed grounded the whole time.
Her father came to U.S. from the Philippines with"20 dollars in his pocket and a college scholarship," she says."He worked hard and made his dreams come true." "I love a challenge and always looking to grow. I saw pageants as a way of bettering my communication. I felt like I wanted to really perfect my speaking."
