About Miss World 2021
Karolina, who is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in management, wishes to pursue a Ph.D., according to missworld.com. She is currently employed as a model and aspires to be a motivational speaker.
According to the website, Karolina is “extremely passionate about the volunteer work she is involved in.” Her Beauty with a Purpose project, ‘Zupa Na Pietrynie,’ provides ongoing assistance to homeless people in crisis while also raising awareness about the issue and combating social exclusion. Karolina prepares hot meals, sandwiches, food packages, hot beverages, and medical assistance for approximately 300 homeless people and those in need on Sundays.
Additionally, she demonstrated her commitment to the homeless community by organizing a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic. Many homeless people were unable to register for the vaccine due to their lack of identification. Karolina believed it was critical for them to feel safe, but also equal, by having the opportunity to receive the vaccine, according to the website.
Due to the increasing number of Covid cases, the contest was held in two parts — one in December 2021 and another in March 2022. Manasa Narayan of India was unable to crack the top six.
