Angelina Usanova, Miss Universe Ukraine 2023 Announced @SM4GOOD Initiative!

SM4Good (social media for good) is dedicated to children worldwide, particularly those in Angelina’s home country, Ukraine, who are suffering from war.

"Every child deserves to be happy and safe", says Angelina. "Today, we have the powerful tool of social media at our disposal, and I believe that by coming together, we can fully harness its potential for what truly matters – kindness and love for children. The 20th of March marks International Happiness Day according to the UN calendar. Isn't that the perfect occasion to bring joy to children's lives?"

The symbol of the initiative is a Teddy Bear, commonly the most beloved toy associated with childhood. The feelings of happiness, safety, and comfort naturally aspired with a teddy bear reveal the concept and the mission of the initiative – to bring happiness to children and make them feel safer.

Angelina Usanova’s friends, holders of the Miss Universe title, have joined her in this effort, as they share a belief that beauty must serve a noble mission. Angelina refers to the initiative as a promise; this is just the beginning as long as there are those in need.

26-year-old Ukrainian beauty queen Angelina Usanova has embarked on a remarkable journey with her philanthropic endeavors. In addition to her linguistic prowess, speaking seven languages including French, German, and Japanese, Angelina has achieved certification as a yoga master in Austria and India, and pursued studies in nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (USA). Her extensive track record includes longstanding support for funds and orphanages in Ukraine. Moreover, Angelina is actively involved in establishing her own charity foundation and constructing recreation centers to aid in post-war recovery efforts.

At the Miss Universe competition held in El Salvador in November 2023, Angelina mesmerized the audience with her elegance and national costume, symbolizing a Bereginya, the Mother with a child, a tribute to mothers awaiting their children's return from war. Through her roles as a singer, yoga master, and sound healer, Angelina devotes a substantial portion of her time and energy to charitable causes, extending assistance to children, animals, and environmental conservation efforts alike.
