My Take
Marisol Malaret is the rare pageant winner whose story only grew richer after the crown. Taking Miss Universe in 1970 as the first Puerto Rican and the first Caribbean woman to do so was historic enough, but what impresses me more is that she refused to be defined by a single night. She built a long career as a television host, radio personality and journalist, proving she had a voice worth hearing, not just a face worth photographing. When she passed in 2023, she left behind a legacy of Puerto Rico made proud on the world stage. I deeply respect that kind of staying power.
