If you were wondering why Bex didn't win at the Miss Universe pageant, this might fill in some of the backstory. This series of articles - link is to the 5 and last part, and it's worth it to start at part 1 due to the amazing, incredible, and almost unbelievable story of the last year in Miss Universe Belize history.
Bex DID WIN! Remember that she brought a nation together, and her current mission is to do her best to keep it together. Have a wonderful year, Ms. Rath, and thanks for all you are doing to make Belize, and the world, a better place.
"There is something you need to know about Rebecca Kathleen Rath, better known to everyone as Bex. She is fiercely competitive, but only when challenged. She will laugh, joke, and have fun playing any game. But let there be consequences, let there be some adversity and the beast comes out. When she was 15, Bex was already known in Dangriga as a promising volleyball player. But all the action in this sport was in Belize City under the coaching of Lupita Quan, the godmother of volleyball in Belize. Lupita was always scouting talent from around the country and had heard about a tall teenager in the South. One weekend, she asked Bex and a few other players from out-district to come for an open tournament in Belize City."
