From Cape Verde to Miss New York USA: Andreia Gibau on Winning, Identity & Finding Real Love
Quality Queen ControlShow Notes
From poverty in Cape Verde to crowned Miss New York USA - and now finding real love? Andreia Gibau's story is INSANE.
In this girls girl episode, we keke'd about everything real. Andreia opens up about being born in Praia, Cape Verde, immigrating to the US at 7 years old and growing up in inner city Brockton, Massachusetts, how philanthropy became core to her identity because she was born into poverty, and how she accidentally discovered pageants and went on to win Miss Teen United States 2015, Miss Earth USA 2017, and then Miss New York USA 2020 - becoming the longest-reigning Miss New York USA.
We also talk pageant world secrets, identity as an immigrant woman, what winning actually does to your self-worth, and finding love and getting engaged after the crown.
This is authentic, real, girls girl talk. No filter.

Your Winter Arc isn't about becoming prettier. It's about becoming more disciplined.
I tried the soft life and ended up broke, anxious, and waiting on an allowance to buy a $7.62 coffee. That's not soft. That's stuck.
Soft life isn't laziness it's options. But softness without literacy is vulnerability.
You can have insane chemistry with someone who is TERRIBLE at relationships. I said what I said.
You are not in love with him. You are in love with who you think he COULD be.
