5.- Whats is the main virtue that any woman must have to be an internacional model?
A good heart and pure intentions.
6.- Are you aware of being an influential woman for thousands of girls who want to be models? How important is it to you to be an idol for many girls and teenagers?
Very important! These days teenagers grow up with social media and so much pressure of beauty standarts and being in a lifestyle of rush. They grow up with too much pressure and I want to inspire them to stay true to themselves, to take time and to accept en love their own uniqueness. I want them to believe in their dreams, their goals and especially their own power and talent.
7.- What was your feeling the first time you modeled in front of a video camera? What did you feel the first time at a beauty pageant?
I felt nervous but very excited and proud.
8.- What do you think about the power of social media today?

The power of social media is enormous.

I like to speak and share a lot of story’s on my Instagram.
10.- What would you advise young people who have talent but do not dare to take the next step? What would you advise parents who do not support their children’s talents?
I would advise them to take the leap. It’s scary but there is where growth begins.
Once you did it, you will feel powerful and you can feel the energy you want to feel and you immediately see the whole picture of your dreams in front of you.
Parents should support their talent because the parents supposed to be the safe space of their children, the ones they should be able to trust. And where is the trust if they don’t support their child and put their trust into their child’s dream. Please don’t let them lose their spark because of our own fears.

The industry can be very hard, but never lose your spark, always stay true to yourself and always believe in yourself and always act out of love.
12.- Graciella, being a model for you has been easy? Were there obstacles?How did you overcome obstacles?
It was never easy.
I alwasy was too short, I really had to keep believing in myself and never give up. Even now.. I have been out of modeling for a period of time due to personal struggles and events that had a massive impact. Nowadays I have a hard time getting jobs because of my “normal” size. I am not skinny enough and I am not curvy enough.
But I will never give up. Because I trust In myself and I am representing a lot of beautiful women out there. I am good just the way I am.
13.- Have you thought about being an actress? Do you like the entertainment industry?
YES! One of my biggest dreams is to play in a big movie! I would love to play in a Netflix movie one day!

14.- Worldwide, women have acquired a greater role even though there are societies where they are still abused. What is your opinion of the role of women in the future in these societies?
Every women should get the right to be able to do what they stand for and to do what they dream to do. We are human too and we are smart, strong and talented too. Women deserve to have a fair and save life too.
