My name is Yasmin Santos Garcia, and I am honoured to represent Denmark in Miss Europe Continental. I am of mixed heritage – half Danish and half Spanish – and I carry the strength, passion, and values from both cultures in everything I do. I believe that beauty is more than appearance – it’s about resilience, empathy, and authenticity. I’m here to be a voice for those who have faced challenges and to show that with belief in yourself, anything is possible.
How are you preparing for the Miss Europe Continental show?
I’m preparing holistically – through physical training, mental focus, and staying deeply connected to my purpose. I practice walking, speaking, and presenting myself, but also spend time in reflection and gratitude. I remind myself every day of how far I’ve come, and how much strength it took to stand here. That inner drive is what I bring to this stage.
What do you expect from the Miss Europe Continental?
I expect a celebration of women from all over Europe, coming together not just to compete, but to uplift one another. I look forward to sharing stories, forming new bonds, and using this platform to inspire others. For me, this is not just about a title – it’s about being part of something greater than myself.
Is there a moment in your life that has particularly marked you?
One of the most life-changing periods of my life was when I spent 1.5 years homeless. It was one of the hardest times I’ve ever experienced, but it also shaped me into who I am today. During that time, I discovered modelling, and it gave me a sense of purpose, confidence, and a path forward. That contrast – from being without a home to standing on international stages – taught me that no matter how dark things may seem, transformation is always possible.
What advice would you like to share with other participants?
My advice is to never underestimate the power of your story. You don’t have to be perfect – you just have to be real. Stay grounded in your truth, lift each other up, and remember that we are all worthy – not because of crowns or titles – but because of the strength we carry within.
“If I am given the honour of holding the Miss Europe Continental title, I want to use it for a greater purpose. One of the causes closest to my heart is mental health. Having faced difficult times myself, I know how important it is to speak openly about mental well-being. I want to use my voice and platform to break stigmas, encourage self-love, and remind others that no matter what you’re going through, you are never alone.”
