Miss Elite 2026 first runner-up Anabelly Ojeda of Venezuela has reflected on her return to the spotlight after six years at home, her journey to the competition and the role her children played in inspiring her throughout the experience during an appearance on NileFM&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Big Drive&rdquo; with Zeinab and Sami.
Although Ojeda came close to taking the Miss Elite 2026 crown, she said her biggest achievement was making the decision to step outside her comfort zone and enter the competition.
Ojeda had spent six years at home before deciding to take part in Miss Elite. Rather than focusing solely on winning, she viewed the experience as an opportunity to challenge herself, embrace a new chapter and create lasting memories for her family.
A Journey Inspired By Her Children
For Ojeda, one of the most meaningful aspects of the experience was knowing that her children were following her journey.
They watched the Miss Elite grand finale and supported her throughout the competition, including cheering her on during video calls.
Ojeda said having her children watch her take part in the competition was a source of pride and happiness.
Her journey became about more than competing for a title. She wanted her children to see her embracing a new experience, stepping outside her comfort zone and setting an example for them.
That connection gave her participation a deeper personal meaning, as she drew motivation from the opportunity to be a role model for her children.
For Ojeda, stepping onto the Miss Elite stage marked a new chapter after six years at home, making her first runner-up finish a significant milestone regardless of the final result.
