Who is Sofia Depassier?
Sofía Depassier is the Chilean representative in Miss Universe 2023 and automatically qualified after being crowned in 2022 as Miss Chile. She is a model, an entertainer and a stylist.
The 24-year-old has lived in the United States for a few years and participated in the national contest representing the Chilean Community Abroad.
Sofia and her family suffered discrimination, intimidation and racism as a result of not knowing English and having cultural differences. As a result, she felt compelled to collaborate with other immigrants seeking a better quality of life. Driven by this passion, she created the “Universe without Borders” project, whose focus is to provide the necessary tools for children and young people who need guidance after moving to a new country.
Depassier is passionate about different causes related to gender equality and women’s well-being.
