Leia Rios has made history after becoming the first Latina ever crowned Miss Wisconsin Teen USA, marking a major milestone for representation in the state. The high school student earned the title after competing against contestants from across Wisconsin and will now go on to represent the state at the national Miss Teen USA competition.

But Leia’s impact goes far beyond the pageant stage. She is known for her work as a youth advocate and community leader, serving as Executive Director of Generations Against Bullying, an organization focused on supporting young people and promoting kindness in schools and communities.

Her historic victory has been celebrated by many Latinos across the country, who see her achievement as an important step forward for diversity and representation. Supporters say her success sends a powerful message to young Latinas that their dreams are possible and that they belong in spaces where they have traditionally been underrepresented.

As she prepares to represent Wisconsin on the national stage, Leia says she hopes to inspire the next generation to embrace their identity, pursue their goals, and use their voices to create positive change. 💖✨

Known as The Cradle of Volleyball and home to the Historic Center of Cibuco, Corozal carries a deep legacy of Taïna heritage, culture, art, poetry and community pride. This year we honor its history, its people and its contributions to the cultural heart of Puerto Rico.

This dedication celebrates the deep cultural ties between Florida and Puerto Rico, two communities united by family, heritage, tourism and heart. From the island to the Sunshine State, our cultures flow together like the rivers of Cibuco.

✨ COROZAL 2026 — THIS YEAR IS FOR YOU! ✨
From the mountains to the festival grounds at Palm Bay City Hall, we're bringing the spirit of Corozal to the Space Coast!

✨ Why Corozal?
Corozal is rich in:
🌿 Secret heritage
🎨 Art, poetry and storytelling
🎶 Music that marked generations
🏞️ Natural beauty that attracts visitors from all over the world

By honoring Corozal, we're motivating families in Florida to reconnect with the island, explore its history, support artisans, and experience the magic of Borikén tourism.
This dedication is a celebration of identity, heritage, and the stories that shape us.

✨ FLORIDA x PUERTO RICO = ONE FAMILY ✨
Our parade is more than a celebration — it's a bridge.
A bridge of culture.
A community bridge.
A bridge for tourism and economic opportunity between the island and its diaspora.

📅 Saturday, October 24, 2026
📍 Palm Bay City Hall
comien Parade begins at 10 AM • The festival continues ALL DAY!

Let's show some love to Corozal! Drop a ❤️🇵🇷 if you're ready to celebrate our island, our people and our shared pride.

Volunteer Appreciation
🧡 A huge thank‑you to the incredible volunteers!
During the month of May, our team showed up with heart, strength, and unity at Eastwood Pentecostal Church and the Second Harvest Food Giveaway, and the impact was powerful.

🚗 Over 250 cars came through in a single day.
🍎 Two full lines running nonstop.
🤝 20 dedicated volunteers working together with precision and compassion.
✨ And because of their teamwork, everything moved smoothly, safely, and beautifully organized.

These volunteers understand how hard we work to make sure families receive the food they need, and they show up every time with love for the community. We truly cannot thank them enough for stepping up, giving their time, and serving with pride.

The community is stronger because of YOU.
Thank you for helping feed, uplift, and support our community.
