In a remarkable achievement, twelve-year-old Xhariana Esparza from Summertown, Tennessee, was named the International United Miss Preteen for the 2025-2026 term on July 19th during the prestigious IUM International Pageant. Representing her home state, Xhariana captivated the judges with her remarkable poise, genuine compassion, and unwavering dedication to community service.
As she prepares to enter the seventh grade this fall, Xhariana has made a significant impact with her initiative, “The Positivity Pact.” This campaign has successfully gathered over 1,000 encouragement cards intended for nursing homes across the United States. In addition to her advocacy work, she has also penned a children’s book titled Positive Posey’s Kind Adventure, which aims to inspire young readers to embrace kindness.
Xhariana is not only an honor roll student but also an enthusiastic volunteer, actively engaging with local organizations such as The Grace House and The Shelter. Outside of her academic and philanthropic pursuits, she enjoys a variety of activities including volleyball, dancing, and swimming. With aspirations of becoming a makeup artist, she hopes to empower others through her creativity.
As the newly crowned IUM Preteen Queen, Xhariana is set to dedicate the upcoming year to promoting themes of kindness, confidence, and community service on a global scale.
