The young Cuban Roselyn Inclan Pérez, originally from Matanzas, was crowned as the first Queen of the Sweet Havana Carnival 2025, at an emotional gala held over the weekend at the Actors Theatre of Louisville.

Cuban Pride at the Sweet Havana Carnival
Roselyn, 19 years old, was born on December 25, 2005, in Matanzas, Cuba. From a very young age, she demonstrated a strong interest in modeling, a path that led her to be pre-qualified for the Miss Universo Cuba 2024 competition, where she received professional training and developed a solid presence on the runway and social media.
In addition to her career as a model, Roselyn has established herself as an influencer, using her digital platforms to promote charitable causes, especially animal protection.
She is currently balancing her university studies with her work as a content creator and model. Her crowning as the Queen of the Carnival represents an achievement she proudly celebrates and further drives her commitment to her community.
