Meet Logina Salah, the trailblazer who made history at the Miss Universe 2024 competition. Logina became the first Egyptian woman to place in the top 30 at the pageant’s grand finale, held in Mexico City. This groundbreaking achievement marked a significant milestone not only for Logina but for Egypt, as it was the first time the country had ever secured a spot in the competition’s 73-year history.
But of course, that isn't her only achievement! Logina is also the first-ever Miss Universe contestant with vitiligo. Throughout her journey, she has been a powerful advocate for vitiligo awareness. As the first contestant with vitiligo to represent Egypt at Miss Universe, she used her platform to challenge beauty standards and promote inclusivity.
Rather than speaking directly about her condition, Logina chose to lead by example, living unapologetically and embracing her uniqueness. “When someone comes across my profile and they see me living fearlessly, this is an inspiration. So, I do both.
I like to go out and inspire, not only for people with vitiligo, but for all young girls and women," she said Born in Alexandria, Egypt, on April 21, 1990, Logina's path to the Miss Universe stage was shaped by her commitment to making a difference. Soon after relocating to Dubai with her 10-year-old daughter, Amy, she was already deeply involved in advocacy work, especially for vitiligo awareness. In Dubai, she continued to build her career and launched the Beyond The Surface Movement,.
