What did you feel to be first finalist in Miss Universe Cuba? Do you think destiny was stealing to another way?
When I received the news a wave of relief wrapped me. I remember the moment I took my phone to share that emotion with my friends and followers. They have always been by my side on this trip.
I felt a deep peace, because I knew I had totally given me. Accepting the challenge of competing in Miss Universe Cuba was a challenge in every way. The satisfaction of being a finalist was immense.
In life there are always many paths that can guide you to success. The essential thing is to be prepared for when the opportunity is presented.
What did you represent to be the voiceover of Be trans?
Had had the privilege of narrating other documentaries with the same producer, but Be trans It marked a special milestone in my career. My first Emmy gave me, a recognition for which I feel proud and grateful.
Why do you think the Emmy was deserved?
Because it is an inclusion narrative, masterfully told from a documentary and journalistic approach. It covers a fascinating panorama for the LGBTQ+community. The emotional arc present in its chapters illustrates the realities and vicissitudes of the human being, and culminates in the realization of their dreams.
Many people who have dedicated their lives to transformism in Cuba, an art that for decades was censored on the island, have emigrated. In exile, most have found a space for freedom and realization. Be trans It is an inspiring project that undoubtedly deserved this award.
How was your academy born, Miss Cuba uses?
He was born from a motivation that he had caressed for a long time. Since I understood the difficulties that those who wish to venture into the world of beauty and competitions face, I felt the need to prepare them.
I toured a ten -year way. Now, with accumulated experience, I feel ready to offer an integral course that provides tools for contestants to reach development and professionalism.
What is the main objective of this project?
My goal is to train and give tools to these women. I think that, at the end of their passage through the Academy, remember their potential and understand that experience has endowed resources to explore the art and determination they carry inside. I want to be a bridge that stimulates its emotional and professional development; Make them feel safe and empowered.
Two events related to the world of beauty contests recently marked your career: acquire the Miss Global Cuba franchise and become a national director of Miss Latin America Cuba and USA. How much responsibility are there behind both achievements?
These experiences have brought great responsibility. Some years ago, I began to contemplate these possibilities and to draw a work plan. However, I felt that I was not yet ready to assume the commitment. Once you face this machinery, you understand that people depend on you, and that entails a huge responsibility. It is a motivation, it drives me to do my best.
How do these positions influence your professional development?
I have reached a level of personal preparation and commitment to my community that today allows me to perform the role of national director with confidence, security and maturity.
Will we see you again in 2025?
Fortunately, the world of acting is generous. This year a film will be released whose title is yet to be confirmed. It is a Film Noir That we roll in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, with the producer Abla Films in mid -2023 with René Moran and Lou Diamond Phillips. I am excited about what will come.
