I want to create or be a platform for people who have been labelled as a victim. I'm not going to be their voice; that's their voice. I want to allow people to voice their life beyond labels.

I think pageants like Miss Universe give young women a platform to follow the field we want, a platform to voice our opinions and make us stronger.

I just want to use my voice and my platform to help people. Whether it be political or therapeutic.

Cordae

The reality of the matter is I'm blessed to be able to do what I can and to have this platform. For me, I'm going to try and do everything that I can to use that platform to help those who don't have the ability to spread their voice that people will hear them.

Jason McCourty

I want to create a platform for those people who want to come to this field. These people will face hurdles and problems that don't allow them to show their talent. So I want to make a platform that they can easily access, and then, at least, they won't be a victim of these problems.

If I have a platform and a voice, I should use it for my people.

Meghan McCain

Social media is amazing because it's opened a platform for so many people to have a voice - but that voice can get inside your head, and it can really mess with you. The only way to avoid that is to have a strong sense of self. I can't say that I have one, but I can tell you I'm working really hard on it.

Stephanie Ruhle

I have been so blessed not only to talk about things that I want to talk about in my industry, but also to have a platform - and people want to hear about it. People want the change; people want the difference; people want to know what's going on. People want to see themselves in the industry that for so long has ostracized girls of my size.

Ashley Graham

I don't want to be super serious but I want to have fun with my platform. I want to touch people, I want to be relatable and let girls know that you can go to college and still pursue what you want after that.

Saweetie

After I left the 'Daily Show,' I was kind of sitting out for five years. I know what it's like to not be able to have that platform for my voice the way I want it.

Wyatt Cenac

And when I won Miss Universe, I got a global platform, which gave me a louder voice to be able to reach more women from every corner of the world. No matter where we live, our circumstances or how we grew up, we want to feel love, we want to feel cared for, and we want to feel powerful.
