Madame'Brazíl Noreaga (also known as Your Army's Goddess) is a United States Army Disabled Wartime OEF/OIF Veteran; Certified High-Fashion Makeup Artist of Hollywood; Internationally-known Pageant Judge; Advocate; and America's 1st Miss Trans USA (2018). While being a familiar and respected judge with boundless experience in judging local to international and global pageants; she has also judged in the ballroom scene. She’s also is a Trans-Female Entertainer in the drag and theatre scene; which she produced and hosts her own successful and sold-out shows, ‘An evening with Madame’Brazil (w/ emcee Enríque-Antonío)'. After witnessing 9/11 on the news, she placed her upcoming college plans on hold and decided to follow in her grandfather's (retired Airforce) footsteps. And at 17 years of age, her willingness and dedication to serve her country, landed her in basic training and AIT before her senior year was completed, due to receiving a waiver from her high school for having met the required amount of credits in order to graduate. Due to her selflessness, she sacrificed the opportunity to walk the stage during her senior year graduation. She signed to become a 13Bravo-FieldArtillery soldier during the 'Don't ask, Don't tell' administration. Having signed up for two terms in total.
Madame'Brazíl has honorably served in the United States Army. In Atlanta, Georgia of 2003 (pre-transition), she was one of six soldiers, possessing an interim top secret clearance, selected to perform Color Guard President George H. W. Bush, and the surviving Tuskegee Airmen. Among her many accomplishments in life, Madame'Brazíl has served as Grand Marshal for the first Pride in Eagle Pass, TX; and has been honorably selected as one of the five Trans Women in the U.S to take the stage as a keynote speaker at the San Diego LGBT community Center in 2018- where she accepted the organization's first Transgender Trailblazer Award. She uses her social platform and positive attitude to educate and inspire- reminding those living with disabilities- that they too can make their weaknesses their strengths. As a self-identifying proud Trans Woman of Color, she is committed to working in a field that promotes all levels of education while inspiring and strengthening the LGBTQ+ community. Madame'Brazíl, and her husband, Enríque-Antonío S Noreaga, are the homeowners of the soon-to-be historically landmarked only Underground House in Temple, Texas. With being known for her philanthropic work in the community, in the near future, she plans on opening up her doors, twice a year, to the community for scheduled tours- as well as- host charitable events to raise funds for Nonprofit organizations, Community outreach programs, causes to better the future of our Temple’s community; and interests. Honorably selected to serve as a member of Temple's Pride Board- she was removed due to her vision of wanting to help the city of Temple and its community members to move in the right direction of growth, diversity, and inclusiveness. However- she continues to encourage all to do the same, the correct and proper way. Madame'Brazíl has been the first American to grace the cover of TransBeauty Magazine UK, with a spread article inside. And as of the fall of 2022, she was introduced as the Pageant Editor for the magazine.
Madame'Brazíl Noreaga created a nonprofit organization designed to help young TransWomen. Providing them with life skills, training, and knowledge to become successful in their transition, life, and society. Which ultimately ends in a friendly activity of pageantry. Using the workshop training the young ladies received. Being known to many young transgender women as 'Motha-Madame', Mrs. Noreaga vows to create a platform that will inspire young TransWomen to transition into the best version of themselves.
