"I thank all those who helped me during this long journey, my family, the 12 candidates with whom I spent unforgettable moments and my fans.

Participating in Miss Haiti 2016, was one of the best experiences of my life. An experience that allowed me to discover myself and reconnect with my roots.

It's for me honor to have the title of Miss Universe Haiti 2016 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18455-haiti-social-elections-of-miss-universe-haiti-and-miss-international-haiti.html that will allow me to shine the colors of our flag internationally.

Thank you to the jury members who selected me. Thank you to the members of the committee that supervised us during the last two months.

Raquel Pelissier, Miss Universe Haiti 2016"
