Beauty queens Bianca Guidotti, Carla Lizardo and Pia Wurtzbach champion women empowerment and self-discovery through @_thequeensph community.

We catch up with them on #NewDay | Watch here bit.ly/381iPzJ

@_thequeensph .@carlalizardo_ says YouTube channel @_thequeensph with Pia Wurtzbach and Bianca Guidotti will be a conversation starter on various topics, trying out something new together, and other pageant-related content

@_thequeensph .@BGuidotti22: Bretman Rock is one of our dream guests. We even talked about having Emma Watson. That would be a dream for me. We want to have important women like Nanette Medved. We have women guests we can look up to.

@_thequeensph @BGuidotti22 .@PiaWurtzbach: Even in sessions when we only have less than 50 people on, we don't disconnect. Everybody has a chance to share. It's nice to see how they open up, how they trust us. I'm happy that from a pageant podcast, we became a safe space.

@_thequeensph @BGuidotti22 @PiaWurtzbach .@BGuidotti22: Power is an ability to self-determination. Given our experience of having a community of women supporting each other, one of the steps you have to do is find your tribe.

@_thequeensph @BGuidotti22 @PiaWurtzbach .@PiaWurtzbach: We live in a digital age now and I'm so glad we can offer a space where you can post a question anonymously and the community will help you out. I'm happy with what we've built here.

@_thequeensph @BGuidotti22 @PiaWurtzbach .@carlalizardo_: Be brave enough to tell your story. I feel like we've been pitted against each other for so long... But it's not true. It's only us who understand how difficult it is to be a woman. When you speak up, someone will also be brave enough to tell a story.
