Voces Con Propósito: Reinas Universal Petite Puerto Rico 2025

Bienvenidos a otro episodio de Operation Glow Up, el espacio donde las historias iluminan, inspiran y transforman. Hoy celebramos a dos mujeres puertorriqueñas que, a través del dolor y la superación, han convertido sus experiencias en misiones de vida que impactan corazones. Con nosotros está Kir Laracuente, Miss Universal Petite Puerto Rico 2025, quien honra la memoria de su madre, Denis Santos, a quien perdió a los ocho años. Su plataforma, Movimiento Denis Santos, nace del amor y la pérdida, y se enfoca en brindar apoyo a familias que enfrentan la pérdida de un ser querido. A través de su fundación Movimiento Denis Santos, ella ofrece ser guía para quienes atraviesan por uno de los momentos más difíciles de la vida. También nos acompaña Arialis Pérez, Mrs. Universal Petite Puerto Rico 2025 y creadora de la iniciativa Un Latir de Bienestar. Tras sobrevivir un infarto a muy corta edad, Arialis se ha dedicado a educar a jóvenes y adultos sobre la importancia de cuidar su salud. A través de talleres de autoestima y amor propio, nos recuerda que escuchar a nuestro cuerpo y visitar al médico no es opcional, es esencial. Estas valientes mujeres iluminan y encienden la esperanza y sanación donde más se necesita. Están listas para representar a Puerto Rico este próximo 8 de junio junto a esta servidora en el Universal Petite, el cual se llevará a bordo del Carnival Paradise. ¡Mis mayores éxitos reinas! Orgullosa de recorrer este camino con ustedes.
