“I want to be the queen.” The Guayaquil Victoria Salcedo is one of the 22 candidates in the Miss Ecuador 2021 beauty pageant. Her added value is that she exemplifies self-improvement, equality and the desire to overcome our fears.
The candidate for Miss Ecuador is the first candidate with a physical disability to appear in the contest.
Salcedo lost both arms and left leg 20 years ago due to a home accident, when he received a very strong electric shock. His limbs were amputated, but his dreams were not.
The 25-year-old girl learned to live with her physical disability. He is currently studying social communication in Guayaquil and hopes to work in the media in the future. But before that is her most recent goal: Miss Ecuador 2021.
