  • Reinas De Belleza De Puerto Rico: 2018-2020
    Reinas de Puerto Rico Según el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, una reina es una mujer que ejerce la potestad real por derecho propio o una mujer que por su excelencia sobresale entre las demás de su clase o especie. Las primeras pertenecen al viejo mundo y las segundas son del nuevo. Puerto Rico ha sido prolífico en reinas. Ya en el Siglo XIX se celebraban fiestas de pueblo donde se escogían a sus reinas para celebrar el triunfo de la espiritualidad sobre la frivolidad y como representante de la monarquía regente. Reinas de Puerto Rico es un intento de identificar todas las damas de nuestra sociedad que de una u otra forma han representado a sus pueblos o al País en los reinados de carnaval, fiestas patronales, fiestas especiales y certámenes de belleza. Estas jóvenes pertenecen a la historia folclórica de Puerto Rico y con este trabajo le damos reconocimiento. ¡Qué viva la Reina! Flor M. Cruz-González, ([email protected]) Bibliotecaria Profesional, Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Arecibo. Agradecimientos Al presentar este proyecto que tomó cerca de ocho años en realizarse y que presento en un momento tan significativo para Puerto Rico, quiero agradecer primero a Dios que rige mi vida y me ha traído hasta aquí. Muy en especial al Sr. Rafael “Rafin” J. Mirabal Linares, por toda su ayuda con el material fotográfico, información y asesoría, al Sr. Confesor Bermúdez, por presentarme a Rafín, por siempre mantenerme al tanto sobre los certámenes de belleza desde que era uno de nuestros estudiantes y por brindarme el ánimo continuo con su gran sentido del humor y talento.

  • Melissa Nayimuli – Butterworth, Eastern Cape
    Melissa Nayimuli – Butterworth, Eastern Cape Name: Melissa Nayimuli Region: I was born in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape but I currently live in Sunninghill. Age: 24 (Born January 2, 1996) Occupation: I have a BA in Motion Picture Medium from AFDA Johannesburg, and I majored in television writing. I currently work as an account manager for a marketing agency. Why do you want to be Miss South Africa and what do you think you will be able to bring to the role? I was born into a multicultural home with a Xhosa mother and a Ugandan father. As exciting as this was, on one hand, I got to experience the full acceptance and love from being treated like a South African, and on occasion, with just the mere mention of my surname, I felt what it was like to be treated like a foreigner. I am entering Miss South Africa with the hopes of bringing unity within the African continent. I would like to start conversations that are aimed at repairing the damage caused by xenophobia, not only in South Africa but all over the African continent. This is not only a South Africa problem, it is not only an Africa problem, it is a global issue. We need to be kinder, more accepting and more respectful of each other’s differences. South African women are proving on a daily basis that they are not only powerful leaders who can effect change, but they can do that with grace, compassion, and humility, which I believe are imperative attributes for such a sensitive topic.

  • Umum – Juara II – Dasasila Bandung #3
    Perkembangan Pola Pikir dan Kepribadian Wanita Asia-Afrika dalam Mewujudkan Kesetaraan melalui Ajang Miss Universe Oleh: Ulfah Mawaddah - Kategori Umum Berdasarkan Tema: Dasasila Bandung dan Relevansinya dengan Kehidupan Masa Kini Subtema: Mengakui persamaan derajat semua ras serta persamaan derajat semua negara besar dan kecil Pada 18 April 1955 Konferensi Asia Afrika (KAA) dibuka Presiden Soekarno di Gedung Merdeka, Bandung. Kini, Asia Afrika sudah memasuki 65 tahun. Pengalaman yang menimbulkan perasaan senasib dan sepenanggungan itu akhirnya melahirkan persatuan tindakan, yang berhasil mewujudkan solidaritas rakyat Asia dan Afrika yang lahir 65 tahun silam. Berdasarkan catatan sejarah Kementerian Luar Negeri RI, dikutip republika.co.id, Sabtu (18/4), diadakannya KAA tidak lain karena dilandasi oleh gagasan dari lima negara yakni Burma (Myanmar), India, Indonesia, Pakistan, dan Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Pertemuan ini melibatkan 24 negara lainnya dari Asia dan Afrika yang berlangsung selama sepekan (18-24 April 1955). Yang paling membanggakan, kini, setelah Arsip VOC, puisi kuno La Galigo, kitab Negarakertagama, dan Babad Diponegoro, kini giliran Arsip Konferensi Asia Afrika ditetapkan sebagai Warisan Ingatan Dunia (Memory of World). Berbicara mengenai Dasasila Bandung yang merupakan hasil kesepakatan dari dilangsungkannya Konferensi Asia-Afrika pada tahun 1955 tersebut, tentu tidak akan terlepas begitu saja dari isu-isu seputar kesetaraan gender yang bahkan masih diperjuangkan hingga sekarang. Tidak sedikit pula wanita di Indonesia, bahkan di Asia dan Afrika sekalipun, yang belum mendapatkan hak mereka yang seutuhnya. Sebagian dari mereka masih terjebak dalam pusaran human trafficking, 1 rasisme, peperangan tak berkesudahan, dan masih banyak lagi hambatan dalam mencapai title sebagai manusia merdeka. Puluhan tahun berselang sejak diselenggarakannya KAA, persoalan pelik semacam itu masih belum dapat terselesaikan secara holistik.
