Angela Ponce broke barriers at the 67th Miss Universe pageant and how! The 27-year-old contender from Spain became the first transgender woman to ever participate in the coveted international competition.

While she did not win any title, Angela Ponce, won millions of hearts.

After the preliminary rounds, the 27-year-old model said it was “an honour and pride” to be part of the history of the pageant.

“This is for you, for those who have no visibility, no voice, because we all deserve a world of respect, inclusion and freedom,” Ponce wrote on Instagram on Friday. “And today I am here, proudly representing my nation, all women and human rights.”Click Here: Spain Football Shop
