When I was growing up I would watch her singing “Umbrella” and say, “I want to be like is an adult entertainment website which contains one of the largest collection of high-quality deepfake porn with celebrities, where original actors' faces are replaced with of: YouTube stars, Twitch streamers, actresses, singers and other types of public persons and celebrities, also known as "deepfakes". She sings, she dances, she does it all-and she has a tiny waist and big hips. She’s from Barbados and was discovered on the island. I think people are more open to change and diversity and to accepting different things. I’m grateful that industries now are more inclusive regarding race, shape, size, color and gender. I can’t just grow or shrink.” I learned that the job entails rejection. I’m used to it now, but at those early castings I would always hear, “You’re perfect, but your hips are too big.” I would be like, “I can’t do anything about it, because that’s literally how my body is. I wasn’t a conventional model like all the women in my family, I have a tiny waist and big hips. Whatever it is, let’s do it.” I went to school the next day and got sent right back home-literally, walk in, walk out. They wanted to dye my hair blonde with streaks of red and orange-very futuristic. They were looking for models for a hair show, and I remember my mom saying, “You’re not going to dye your hair.” But I knew I would take the opportunity. I did my first photo shoot when I was 14. But they were always intact, even at six p.m. It hurt so much! My hair is really curly, and she would make those braids so tight. She would braid my hair for school, fixing it in two little pigtails. Growing up, I couldn’t see my mom that much because she worked full-time, so I spent a lot of time with my grandma. Even though it will kill me in my heart, I want to reach for my dreams.” I left Puerto Rico and all my family I knew I had to step out of my comfort zone. My favorite is Pocahontas because she stays with her family and her tribe she doesn’t live her dream. Most people are like, “Oh, we’re going to the beach!” But for me it’s a spiritual, cleansing adventure. I was born on an island, so I feel very tied to the ocean. I’m an Aquarius, and my full first name has the ocean in it-the mar in Yolimar. That’s what I want people to say at the end of my journey: “She did it.”įor me, the beach is everything. Even though one door closed, it doesn’t matter, because down the road I’m going to have a good time. I got this opportunity because I have something to say. I didn’t get this opportunity because I look the way I look there are 10,000 girls who are more beautiful than I am, who have all the things a magazine would be lucky to have. I said yes because I think any chance a woman gets to showcase her power is a great opportunity. If I work hard and treat people with respect, the universe follows through. I remember thinking, This is it-my validation. I gave 110 percent of myself, and even though I didn’t win I felt like a winner with everything I had done-the pageant, the rebuilding, everything.Īnd if I had won, I wouldn’t have been able to do this story! It wasn’t even two weeks after I got back to Los Angeles that Playboy contacted me. (Luckily, they ended up giving me a second chance.) When I came back here, I had nothing I had given up everything to go back home. Around the time of the pageant, my modeling agency in Los Angeles dropped me because I wasn’t there. Winning Miss Puerto Rico would have been a dream, but it wasn’t in the cards for me. They do wonderful work, and I was blessed that they helped me use that experience in the pageant. They sponsored a project I did for the pageant: One of the schools in my hometown didn’t have any water, so we installed a cooler and did a presentation where we ran dirty water through the filter so it was totally clean. While I was there, I worked with Waves for Water, a nonprofit that was installing handmade water filters all over the island. Nobody in the industry knew me, and I’d never done a pageant in my life. I moved back to Puerto Rico the following April. Why do you want to come back to the island?” I told her, “I want to use that platform to say something and for people to hear me.” BIRTHPLACE

I told my mom, “I’m moving back, and I’m going to compete for Miss Puerto Rico in the Miss Universe pageant.” My mom said, “You’re crazy-you’re already established in Los Angeles. I wanted to go home immediately and help my family and my people put the pieces back together, and I had an idea how I could make the biggest impact. I was living and working as a model in Los Angeles at the time. When Hurricane Maria hit back in 2017, it was devastating to my hometown of Toa Baja, which is on the outskirts of San Juan and right near the beach.
