Sha’uri Livori: An #EarthWarrior from Down Under

This 19 year-old from the Filipino Community of Melbourne has a very interesting multi-hyphenated mix. Her father is Italian-Maltese. Her mother is Filipina-Chinese-Islander Aboriginal. Blend them all together and you get a vibrant beauty who is currently taking up Professional Writing and Editing with plans of specializing in Public Relations after.

As an Official Candidate of Miss Philippines Earth 2023, Sha’uri (pronounced as Sha-ray) is advocating for solid waste management – an environmental practice that is fully utilized in her home country. She admits to being a nerdy person outside of the spotlight, but can break out into a song when asked to. In fact, singing will be her talent for the pageant.

Watch my one-on-one interview with Sha’uri below.
