Marina Iatsenko — Official Participant of The Continental Pageants Europe® 2023

My name is Marina Yatsenko. I am 40 years old. I am a cosmetologist. But, due to the war in Ukraine, I had to close my own salon in my hometown of Kharkiv and start all over again in a different city, many kilometers away.

But despite everything, I didn’t give up. Beauty is worth fighting for!
So, I returned to my work and opened a professional cosmetics store and a decor and flower shop in Western Ukraine. I am also an official representative of the French professional cosmetics brand Sothys.

The most important part of my life is my family. It is a refuge where you can hide and, at the same time, a driving force that keeps me going.
Charity has always been a part of my life, but today it is our survival and our right to exist. I help orphans, children with health problems. And today, of course, I also support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I adore animals and have always supported animal shelters.

I am not my past. I am not my tomorrow. I am today – strong, loved, beautiful, with faith in a happy and peaceful tomorrow.
