Her Journey in Pageants
Génesis Dávila has competed in many beauty pageants. These competitions are contests where people are judged on their beauty, talent, and personality.
Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2013
On August 29, 2012, Génesis Dávila represented her hometown, Arroyo, in the Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2013 pageant. She finished as the first runner-up. This means she was the second-place winner. She also won a special award for "Best Legs." The main winner of Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2013 was Monic Pérez. As the first runner-up, Génesis earned the chance to represent Puerto Rico at Miss Intercontinental 2012. There, she also finished as the first runner-up and won the title of Miss North America Intercontinental.
Miss World 2014 Competition
On August 13, 2014, Génesis Dávila again represented Arroyo. This time, it was at the Miss World Puerto Rico 2014 pageant. She won the competition and also received the "Beach Beauty Award." After winning, Génesis went on to represent Puerto Rico at Miss World 2014 in London. She was the first woman of mostly African heritage to represent Puerto Rico in this global competition. However, she did not place in the semifinals.
Miss Florida USA Challenges
Génesis Dávila competed in the Miss Florida USA 2017 pageant. She represented Miami Beach. On July 16, 2016, she won the competition. She was crowned Miss Florida USA 2017.
However, Génesis was disqualified on July 22, 2016. This happened because it was found that she had hired outside professionals for her hair and makeup during the pageant. This was against the rules of the competition. The pageant organizers said they received many complaints from other contestants and witnesses. They felt this gave Génesis an unfair advantage.
Génesis later took legal action against the pageant owners. She wanted her crown back and money for damages. This legal case was later closed in October, and the details were kept private.
The next year, Génesis returned to Miss Florida USA. She represented Miami and won the competition again. She then represented Florida at Miss USA 2018 and made it into the Top 5 finalists.
