HANNELIE VAN WYK

I decided to participate in Mrs. Malta 2022 because it offered a unique chance to blend my personal goals with my passion for empowering women and promoting Malta. Having lived in Malta for over seven years, I felt a deep connection to this beautiful country and its people.

1. Why did you choose to compete in the Mrs. Malta pageant?
I decided to participate in Mrs. Malta 2022 because it offered a unique chance to blend my personal goals with my passion for empowering women and promoting Malta. Having lived in Malta for over seven years, I felt a deep connection to this beautiful country and its people. The pageant provided a platform to advocate for causes close to my heart, such as women’s empowerment and self-discovery.
I aimed to use the visibility of Mrs. Malta to inspire other women to pursue their dreams and find their purpose. Additionally, I wanted to pave the way for more Maltese women to engage in international pageants like Mrs. Globe, encouraging them to achieve greatness on a global stage. Ultimately, my decision was driven by personal growth, a love for Malta, and a commitment to empowering women.

2. How does it feel to be a representative of a country you weren’t born in but have grown to love?
Born in South Africa, I’ve spent over seven transformative years in Malta, which has warmly embraced me. It’s an honor to represent Malta, especially in arenas like the Mrs. Globe pageants where the country has had little previous participation.
When Malta had the chance to step onto this international stage, I felt a deep sense of responsibility and excitement. Winning was a collective victory for all women in Malta. By securing this title, I hoped to inspire other Maltese women to pursue their dreams.
Although I may not be Maltese by birth, “home is where the heart is,” and my heart is firmly in Malta. My goal is to use this platform to inspire and show that with dedication and passion, they too can achieve greatness.

3. Who do you dedicate your Mrs. Globe title to?
I dedicate my world title to the women of Malta. Their strength, resilience, and spirit have been a constant source of inspiration for me. This victory is not just mine; it belongs to every woman who has dared to dream, who has faced challenges head-on, and who continues to strive for greatness despite the odds.
I also dedicate this title to my family and friends, in Malta, South Africa and across the World. Their unwavering support and encouragement have been instrumental in my journey.
Without their love and belief in me, this achievement would not have been possible.
Lastly, I dedicate this title to Malta itself, a country that has embraced me as one of its own and given me a place to call home. This win is a tribute to the beauty, culture, and spirit of Malta, and I am proud to represent such a wonderful nation on the world stage. I hope my win inspires others to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams relentlessly.

 

4. How do you plan to make the most of your reign?
I am thrilled to build the bridge between the Malta Tourism Authority and Mrs. Globe to showcase Malta’s beauty and promote self-empowerment through the “Reclaiming Me” programs created by Dr. Tracy Kemble, President of Mrs. Globe Organization. These initiatives help women recover from narcissistic abuse and rediscover self-love, addressing issues like gaslighting, cognitive dissonance, and identity theft.
Our collaboration will feature awareness campaigns and workshops that highlight Malta’s cultural richness while addressing mental health and emotional well-being. This dual approach not only boosts tourism but also spreads a message of strength and self-care, positioning Malta as a symbol of hope and recovery.
We will provide support for women and families affected by narcissistic abuse, offering resources and safe spaces. By leveraging the Mrs. Globe platform, we can amplify these messages globally.
Additionally, we will send bright and beautiful representatives from Malta to participate in various Mrs. Globe pageants, further enhancing Malta’s international presence and promoting its cultural and touristic appeal.
In summary, our partnership with the Malta Tourism Authority and Mrs. Globe will promote Malta as a destination while fostering a supportive environment, empowering women to reclaim their lives and thrive. Together, we can make a lasting positive impact worldwide!

5. What’s your dream?
My dream is to create a lasting impact on the lives of women in Malta and beyond. I aspire to be more than just a titleholder; I want to be a source of inspiration and empowerment. Through my journey and experiences, I hope to encourage women to pursue their dreams, embrace their strengths, and find their unique purpose in life.
I envision establishing initiatives and platforms that provide women with the resources, support, and confidence they need to succeed. Whether it’s through mentorship programs, workshops, or community events, my goal is to cultivate an environment where women feel empowered to chase their ambitions and make a difference.
In the end, my dream is to see a world where women are celebrated for their achievements and contributions, a world where every woman feels valued, capable, and inspired to reach her fullest potential.
