Support Miss U.S. Latina at Miss America Latina del Mundo!

Desert Hot Springs’ own Esthefania Rodriguez is preparing to step onto one of the most prestigious international stages in pageantry—Miss America Latina del Mundo this October in the Dominican Republic. Recently crowned Miss U.S. Latina 2025 in Miami, Esthefania is now carrying her crown, her hometown, and her culture with pride as she represents the United States in this celebrated competition.

At just 23 years old, Esthefania is more than a beauty queen. She’s a UC Riverside graduate in political science, now pursuing modern journalism, and a passionate advocate for community service. With poise, intelligence, and a heartfelt connection to her roots, she embodies the very best of today’s Latina leadership. “I’m not just representing myself,” she says. “I’m representing our culture, our roots, and our city.”

The journey to an international competition is thrilling but costly, and Esthefania is reaching out for community support to help cover her travel and preparation expenses. Every contribution brings her one step closer to showcasing the talent, beauty, and strength of the Latin American community on a global stage.

From the streets of Desert Hot Springs to the international spotlight, Esthefania’s story is one of perseverance, pride, and inspiration. She hopes her success will inspire young girls to believe that no dream is too big and no stage is out of reach.

Now, the Coachella Valley has the chance to help lift her higher. Her GoFundMe campaign is live, and every donation—large or small—will make a difference in this extraordinary journey. Esthefania’s crown may sparkle under the lights, but it’s the community’s support that truly helps it shine.
