{{blockquote|text=If I have to sum it up in one word: freedom. Freedom, being able to travel where you want to, be who you want, do what you want, be the woman you are meant to be, follow your dreams.... To be able to achieve the knowledge, not only academically but the knowledge of culture, of emotional intelligence, to be able to reach your full potential.{{cite news |date=16 February 2023 |title=Miss Brazil crowned Miss Charm 2023; PH bet Annabelle McDonnell finishes 1st runner-up |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/amp/life/02/16/23/brazil-wins-miss-charm-2023-ph-bet-is-1st-runner-up |work=ABS-CBN News |access-date=17 February 2023}}}}
