Brittany Mason is an international model, actress, activist, businesswoman and current Director of Miss Universe Ireland. 

On this morning's Dermot and Dave, Brittany was in studio to tell us about her journey from a small town upbringing in Indiana, where she was consistently bullied, to taking her fate into her own hands and pursuing a career in modelling at the age of 16, which resulted in her finding a niche in the pageant world.

She also chatted about wanting to host the Miss Universe competition here in Ireland and spread her I Am Possible campaign across the globe too.

It's a very important message from a very knowledgeable lady.
