During the competition, Cuesta, 19, strutted down the Historic Manuel Artime Theater stage in a glistening red gown, competing versus 19 women in a variety of events designed to measure her talent, beauty, intelligence and humanitarian spirit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy life changed at that moment. I mean, just by competing there my life was already changed,\u201d Cuesta said. \u201cWinning gave me the exposure and all the media that I need to get my voice out there and make sure that I can advocate for education, which is my main goal.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuesta, a communications major at Miami Dade College, expects to earn her associate in arts degree this semester. She will spend the next year serving as an ambassador for Carnaval Miami and the <a href=\"https:\/\/kiwanislittlehavanafoundation.org\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation<\/span><\/a> to help underprivileged children in South Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Miss Carnaval pageant has been a tradition in Miami since 1982. The pageant encourages female leadership and inspires young women to pursue their passions through the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since winning her crown, Cuesta has been featured on W<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PLG Local 10 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Diario Las Am\u00e9ricas.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born in Havana, Cuba, Cuesta emigrated to the United States when she was nine years old. Upon her arrival, she couldn\u2019t help but compare herself to her peers\u2014the ones that spoke English in a native tongue and weren\u2019t struggling in a divorced-parent household.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 14, she discovered her love for pageantry and made the spontaneous decision to trade in her soccer cleats to enter the Miss Miami VIP pageant in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI told my mom that I wanted to compete, and my family thought I was crazy,\u201d Cuesta said. \u201cYou know, how are you going to go from playing soccer at school for so long to a pageant? So, I signed up myself. It was hard to go from such a tough sport to pageants.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gamble paid off<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">she won first-place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the pageant scene is usually portrayed as self-involved women fighting for the crown, Cuesta said her fellow competitors have supported her unconditionally and believe in the mantra that women should empower each other. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI believe that anyone who believes [pageant stereotypes] hasn\u2019t seen what pageantry does,\u201d said Sabrina Ramos, Miss Carnaval 2018 and Cuesta\u2019s mentor. \u201cIt helps women grow and takes a lot of women out their comfort zone and puts them in a situation that mimics the real world. It gives them confidence. Most of my best friends have come through pageantry, and [it] really is a growing experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The feminist spirit of beauty pageants and her passion for helping children has fueled her desire to compete. She has competed in four pageants, winning first-place in the Miss Cuba Queen Of The Continents International in 2016 and placing second in the Model Search competition in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuesta began preparing for Miss Carnaval more than a year ago when she asked herself what kind of impact she\u2019d like to have after winning another crown. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe first thing I do [before competing] is stand in the mirror and ask myself \u2018Okay Camilla, why do you want to be Miss Carnaval 2019?\u2019 \u00a0\u201d Cuesta said. \u201cI prepare with a lot of meditation, a lot of self-confidence, you know, watch a lot of TED Talks, watch past pageant girls, who are now YouTubers, give advice. It helps you never lose sight of winning the crown.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hardest part of competing is the long, rigorous training that goes on behind the scenes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuesta dedicated many hours each week to training sessions that prepared her for pageant interviews. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, she followed a strict physical training regimen that included personal trainer sessions twice a day to tone her physique and a stringent diet that extracted junk foods and carbohydrates. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None of that happened alone\u2014it required the help of makeup artists, photographers, trainers, stylists and the support of family and friends. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuesta is looking forward to her responsibilities as the crowned Miss Carnaval. This summer, she will volunteer at the Healthy Kids Summer Camp at the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation and participate in the Back to School drive in August. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI believe that the door to success lies within education and guarantees us a better future,\u201d Cuesta said. \u201cFor a lot of social problems that are happening right now, I believe education is definitely the door to help out and change those issues.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside her full-time schedule at MDC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014she has taken classes at the Hialeah, InterAmerican and Wolfson campuses\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuesta works part-time as a substitute teacher at South Miami Senior High School. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of her Miss Carnaval 2019 title, Cuesta qualifies for the Miss Florida USA pageant in 2019 that crowns the 2020 winner. She ultimately hopes to compete for the Miss Universe title. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPageantry isn\u2019t what everybody else thinks it is. It\u2019s not just putting on heels, a bikini and modeling<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there is a compromise to it,\u201d Cuesta said. \u201cIf you\u2019re willing to make a change in your community, if you\u2019re passionate about something<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that\u2019s why you join a pageant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Camila Cuesta was announced as Miss Carnaval 2019, the teenager cried as she wore her diamond crown for the first time.
