Name: Mia Taveras Country: Dominican Republic Age: 20 Mia Lourdes Taveras Lopez was born on July 4th, 1986. I come from a very big family where I am the youngest of five brothers and sisters; and even though my sister and I are the feminine 'minority', my mom always says that 'our pants are tighter' than our brothers'! I admire my late grandmother. Her courage and memory motivate my discipline and hard work. In the Miss Universe pageant I expect to give my all; mind, body and soul to do an excellent performance and leave the mark of my country's flag. I hope that it will be an enriching experience where I can come out successful.
