I couldn’t tell you if I tried. My brain and heart were in all different directions.
Personally, I had never really spent much time thinking about the change a reigning titleholder goes through when ownership of a franchise changes.
Will that Queen still have the opportunity to be active?
Will that Queen be able to crown her successor?
Will that Queen attend events with the new owner and their team?
Well, let me tell you. I had all of those thoughts and more at 8:32 AM on February 18 of 2020. The dead center of my reign as Miss Earth Canada, it felt like my crown had fallen off my head, around my neck and it was choking me. I couldn’t breathe. My heart was racing. What did this all mean?
The countless DM’s on Instagram, my Facebook & WhatsApp inboxes filling up, and the countless messages from Canadian pageant girls who were seriously concerned about me…
All I could answer their question with was “I don’t know.”
I instantly opened my “TEAM CANADA” chat with my Miss Earth Canada team, and it was confirmed. There was a new owner of the rights to send a Canadian delegate to Miss Earth 2020. I messaged my director, I guess up until that moment, “What does this mean for me?”
The perks of Pageants are that you love your fellow sister Queens. Jillian Martin was my second phone call after trying to call my boyfriend Alessandro. Jill instantly pick up, I told her I am having a mini moment. We chatted and she said, let things calm down and figure out the next steps when you can.
I kept on with my day. I had a meeting downtown Calgary so I got ready, slightly had another mini-moment when my boyfriend called me back. he gave me the exact reaction I was hoping for.
Later that afternoon I received a message from the new owner of Miss Earth 2020, “Hi Mattea as you know I have MEC now. Let me know if you have any questions?”This meant so much to me. Knowing that I wasn’t in the dark, or left alone to figure out what was happening. I had a phenomenal conversation with Michelle Weswalid. She addressed all of my questions and we chatted a bit.
MOVING FORWARD:
I do not have an exact answer of what my plan is. It has been a little over a week and I am taking things a day at a time. I know Michelle has always been honest with me & I will be moving forward with my year as Miss Earth Canada. I hope to support MTC-W Inc. with the questions they have, in regard to Miss Earth, and what I learned as Miss Earth Canada 2019.
I will be working with both Harlijk, my director for Miss Earth, along with Michelle Weswaldi to continue my reign and promote the Miss Earth Canada title at home and internationally. Miss Earth Canada 2020 will be supported by MTC-W Inc., and will be crowned alongside Miss World Canada, Miss Supranational Canada, Miss Intercontinental Canada & Miss Gwand Canada. I am excited to see who my successor is & to get to know the ladies vying for my crown!
Well, that sums up everything around this topic. I am taking it a day at a time.
Thank you to everyone for your support and concern. I am so blessed to be surrounded by the community we create. I cannot say thank you enough to you all.
