Pageantry
Miss Venezuela 2017
Velazco stands at 177 centimeters and competed as Miss Barinas 2017. As one of 24 finalists in her country's national competition, she was awarded Best Style and Miss Photogenic at the grand final show of Miss Venezuela 2017. She succeeded outgoing Miss Venezuela 2016 1st Runner-up and Miss International 2017 2nd Runner-up Diana Croce of Nueva Esparta.[1]
During the speech portion of the pageant, the women were given a chance to express their plans if crowned Miss International and share their personal advocacies. Velazco's speech went as follows:[4]
"It’s a very special day for all Miss International delegates, but for me, it’s doubly special as today I am also celebrating my birthday. In my country, we have the custom of not revealing our birthday wish, but today I want to make an exception. My dream, my birthday wish is that if I were to be privileged enough to be your next Miss International, I can continue to stimulate children around the world to read. In Venezuela, I have devoted a great part of my time serving as a storyteller for less favored populations, and I’m living proof that reading is the way towards knowledge. My goal as Miss International is that every child around the world have access to books that speak about tolerance, respect, and happiness. I firmly believe in the power of dreams to change societies and think if everyone of us takes on the duty of reading a story to a child, that child will be more educated and the world will be happier. That is my birthday wish."
Her victory gave Venezuela its 8th Miss International crown, the most number of crowns titles won by a single country in the history of the pageant.[5][6]
