Born and raised in Texas, 10-year-old Aliyah Garcia is honored to represent her title as America’s Most Beautiful Preteen 2026. Full of sparkle, creativity, and determination, Aliyah is a competitive cheerleader who dreams of becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader when she grows up. She is also a social butterfly who loves meeting new people, painting, crafting, and everything related to glam, fashion, and beauty.

When she is not cheering or creating, Aliyah loves spending time outdoors riding her bike and scooter and playing with her adorable pink Maltipoo. With more than 150 hours of community service, Aliyah has a heart for helping others. She is especially passionate about creating and sharing her Brave Heart Bundles, a service initiative dedicated to bringing comfort, hope, and love to children in foster care.

Aliyah hopes to use her year as America’s Most Beautiful Preteen to inspire others to lead with kindness, embrace their creativity, and make a meaningful difference in their communities.
