"It all happened so fast. When they called my name, I didn't realize I won. It was probably about five seconds and I'm not reacting. Then I felt that sash come over me. It was just such a rush of feelings and I tell people you kind of black out because there's so much going on. It was just pure, utter shock really," she said.
"I took that win home for my family, for my community, for Houston, for Texas, and for the Asian American community," Gabriel said.
