Miss BumBum Brasil – Celebrates the country’s most famous asset

Erika Canela is the first black woman to be crowned Miss BumBum Brasil – a title that celebrates the country’s most famous asset. The 22-year-old student and model beat 27 other hopefuls to the punch in a highly contested television show, which saw her strutting her stuff in a range of revealing outfits.

Canela, who is originally from the northeastern state of Bahia but now lives in Rio de Janeiro, says she wants to use her new-found platform to show that “black is beautiful”.

“I’m very happy and excited to have won,” she told reporters. “It’s a dream come true. I hope to show that black women can also be Miss BumBum.”

The title of Miss BumBum – which literally means “bottom” or “bum” in Portuguese – is coveted by many Brazilian women, and the competition to win it is fierce. This year’s contest was marred by accusations of racism after a white contestant claimed she was only given a wildcard spot because of the show’s “diversity quota”.

Canela will now go on to represent Brazil in the Miss BumBum World competition, which will be held in China.

Erika Canela is the first black woman to win Miss BumBum Brasil, an annual contest that selects the country’s most beautiful buttocks. It’s a huge accomplishment for a black woman in a country where racism is still prevalent. Canela, who is from the state of Bahia, says she wants to use her platform to promote racial equality and body positivity.

“I’m representing all black women,” she told reporters after her win. “We are not just a stereotype.”

Canela will now go on to compete in the Miss BumBum World pageant, which will be held in China.

Canela’s victory is significant not only because she is black, but also because she is from Bahia, a state in Brasil with a large population of Afro-Brazilians. According to the 2010 census, about 85% of Bahia’s residents identify as black or mixed-race. In comparison, only 50% of Brasil’s population is black or mixed-race. This means that black Brazilians are disproportionately represented in Bahia.

Canela’s win is a step forward for racial equality in Brasil. It also sends a message to black women all over the world that they are beautiful and deserving of recognition. Canela is an inspiration to us all, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
