Hi, my name is Robyn Salva, 26, from Avondale, Arizona, and I am reaching out as I have decided to take a leap of faith and entered Miss International Queen USA, a preliminary to Miss International Queen, held annually in Thailand. MIQ is the world's biggest beauty pageant for transgender women. The pageant was started in 2004. Miss International Queen USA has competed for years under appointments but officially became a designated competition preliminary in 2024. The pageant sits under Be the Transformational Change, a non-profit organization focused on bettering the lives of LGBTQIA+ individuals, with a huge focus on the trans-community, aligning with the mission of MIQ, World Equality.

This year, I will be competing in Las Vegas, Nevada, from December 8th through 12th, at the University of Nevada’s Las Vegas campus. As part of my journey, I am currently seeking financial support and/or sponsorship to help me cover my pageant expenses and simply wish me luck as I vie for the title Miss International Queen USA 2025. I would love to have your support, as this title is so much more than just a crown and sash, but a pageant with a purpose, focused on world equality. In my case, I will use this platform to create a more trans-inclusive workplace. It would mean so much to me if you would be willing to support me in this journey.
