Selected to be part of the Miss France jury during the election which will take place on December 14 in Poitiers (Vienna), she is impatiently awaiting this event of which she is a fan. “It was so unexpected that I said to myself why not I like new experiences and changes in society through dialogue, understanding, not revolution (…) I have already watched Miss Georgia, Miss France and Miss World and it's a very entertaining show. Generally, I refuse to participate in juries because I don't like to judge others, but what interests me here is to understand what beauty really is and why these women decide to participate in this competition . I will try to listen to them. Feminism, for me, is when women have a choice”concluded the 37-year-old artist.
