Evlin Khalifa is a pianist and a taekwondo artist who dreams that someday women from the Arab Region will have more international representation in media including Disney films, Hollywood shows, and on the MISS UNIVERSE stage. Khalifa works closely with Smile Train in the Persian Gulf to spread awareness about children with cleft palates as it affects their ability to eat, drink, and breathe or cause them to be victims of bullying. She wants to use her voice to break stereotypes about Arab women and spread awareness to their rights; to live anywhere that they can be freely happy, to have responsibility of their own body, and to be successful without the burdens of society.
