Another remarkable victory for Ukraine: Adriana Pushchak, a native of Drohobych, has won the title of Ms USA Universe Petite 2025, triumphantly competing in the prestigious national pageant held in Las Vegas.
The competition ran from April 9 to 12, gathering over 30 finalists from across the United States. Contestants participated in several stages, including public speaking, photo shoots, and runway walks, showcasing not only beauty, charisma, and resilience. The mission of the pageant is to inspire women from diverse cultures to find their voice and influence society through their stories.
“This crown isn’t about perfection. It’s about the power to be yourself and to not give up, even when it’s hard,” Adriana said after her win.
Adriana Pushchak moved to the United States in 2022 with her daughter Vanessa. In America, she not only started a new chapter in her life but also launched a successful beauty business. Today, Adriana is not just a beauty queen but an inspiration for many women in the Ukrainian diaspora. Her mission is to show that even after changes and challenges, one can build a meaningful future.
“My victory is for all the women who have ever doubted their strength. You are already worthy. Your crown is in your heart,” she said.
Adriana’s upcoming plans include mentoring, motivational speaking, and social initiatives for women seeking their place in the world.
