Hi, I'm Francisca, I was born and raised in the small town of Azua in the Dominican Republic. My story is one of determination, resilience and pursuit of dreams. My journey began in very difficult circumstances where opportunities were limited, but my ambitions and dreams knew no limits. From a very young age I knew where I was going and I was very clear that I wanted to free myself from the restrictions of my environment and forge my own path in life. A life of success!
This desire to excel and help my family took me to the beautiful city of New York, where I faced unique challenges such as adapting to a new culture, language, and lifestyle; and start from 0 without getting discouraged. I accepted these challenges, using them as fuel to push myself and move forward. With hard work, talent, determination and dedication, I ended up becoming the winner of the renowned reality show Nuestra Belleza Latina in 2015. This triumph was not only mine but also that of thousands of young Latinas who saw themselves reflected in my story. For them I became what I dreamed of, an example that dreams come true and that our circumstances do not determine our future.
However, my journey did not stop with the contest. I took full advantage of the opportunity to build a successful career in the entertainment industry, becoming a television host watched by millions in the United States and Latin America. I have also managed to participate in novels, films and become an author and businesswoman.
At the same time, I built a strong platform in the digital world, a platform with which I feel very committed to elevating and empowering others. I consider myself a true advocate of positivity and health, perseverance and family values, I just want to inspire others to follow their dreams and trust in their own power, overcome their challenges and achieve whatever they want for their lives. I want to give back to the community and have a positive impact on the world. My story is a powerful testimony to the strength of the human spirit and the power of dreams. It serves as a reminder that, no matter our backgrounds or the obstacles we face, we all have the power to shape our destinies and make a difference in the world.
