Birmania Rios | Latin Pride National Awards 2008

Birmania Ríos (born in New York City, New York, U.S.), is a television news journalist. She resided in New York until the age of four, when her family decided to relocate to Puerto Rico. She spent her adolescence and early adulthood on the island and upon finishing her studies and obtaining a degree in communications from University of the Sacred Heart in San Juan, she left Puerto Rico and relocated back to New York.

From this experience, Birmania gained local recognition in New York City's Latino community, and soon afterwards she became a familiar face on local Univision station WXTV, where she became a weather anchor, then she became a general assignment reporter and for two years she was the hostess of an entertainment show called "Sabado al Mediodia". Two years later she became the news anchor on the station's morning news broadcast "Al Despertar". She stayed with the station until 2005, when she decided to join Univision's nationally televised morning show, Despierta America. Since joining the program, she has become an audience favorite and serves as the program's local correspondent in the New York City metropolitan area.

During her career Birmania has won multiples awards and recognitions, among them: two ACE awards as Best TV Presenter, one Emmy nomination, and most recently a special recognition given by Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City for being an outstanding dominican living in the Big Apple.
She presently resides in New York City with her daughter, Valentina.
