# Mia Dio Crowned Miss Universe Cuba 2026

**Date:** 08/29/2026

Mia Angelina Donadio Cancio, 25-year-old content creator and activist, has been crowned Miss Universe Cuba 2026, cementing her position as one of the most inspiring figures in Cuban pageantry. The coronation event took place from August 21-26, 2026, and Donadio's victory marks a significant moment for both her and the island nation.


Donadio's journey to the crown is remarkable. Just one year ago, she competed in the 2025 Miss Universe pageant despite experiencing facial paralysis, demonstrating the resilience and determination that define her character. Her grandfather was a Bay of Pigs veteran, instilling in her a deep sense of Cuban pride and historical consciousness.


Now, Donadio will represent Cuba at the Miss Universe pageant in Puerto Rico, carrying the hopes of her nation to the international stage. As a content creator and activist, she has built a platform dedicated to raising awareness about various social issues and empowering others through her advocacy work.
