, acceptance, and inclusivity on her journey as she vies for the highly-coveted Miss Universe crown.
"The common terms would be like, 'retarded' or 'stupid' or 'dysfunctional,'" she said. "I always defended them if anything because that's what we do with family. But at the same time, it was so frustrating for me to see how they were being treated." For Michelle, her brothers Mazen and Adam are two gifted individuals who serve as blessings in their family.
Because of her brothers, Michelle has been active in supporting organizations that push for autism awareness and acceptance.
