Latinas del Noroeste de Florida: Belleza Con Determinación
|
Latinas of Northwest Florida: Determined Beauty By Jessica De La Torre Dominguez Since Hamizadai Fereira was four years old, she has had a fascination with the beauty industry. She competed and won many pageants in addition to representing several modeling agencies in the United States and in Puerto Rico. When the Nuestra Belleza Latina 2013 pageant came along, Fereira didn't hesitate to sign up for auditions in Miami . Despite her advancement in the pageant, Fereira was not able to move forward in the competition because of complications regarding her Venezuelan passport. Much travel is required throughout the contest. Fereira's experience motivated her to utilize the connections she made in Miami with several Univison television program producers and modeling scouts to hold a pageant of her own in the Northwest Florida for Latinas between the ages of 18 and 27. "I don't want this to be like any other competition. I want this to be huge!" Fereira said. Soon, Fereira, who is from Maracaibo, expects her Facebook inbox to be filled with messages from women in the Gulf Coast area that are interested in competing in her pageant this summer. Once auditions are held, Fereira will select thirty Latinas to prepare and train them for the beauty industry and possibly enter final contestants in other pageants such as Nuestra Belleza Latina or Miss Universe. Fereira is determined to continue with her career in the beauty industry, and hopes to open doors for women that dream of becoming strong, feminine figures. She says she hopes to work with charismatic ladies that are willing to struggle for what they truly want…while balancing on heels. "No queen succeeds easily," Fereira says. Participation information can be obtained through Fereire’s facebook page at www.facebook.com/hamizadai.fereira or by calling 850-225-5529. |
