In our combined 50+ years’ experience in the pageant and beauty industries, one as a former Miss Universe and the other, a former marketing executive for the Miss Universe Organization and Ford’s Supermodel of the World program, we believe in the positive power of pageantry. Together, we have encountered thousands of young women across the globe who have participated in beauty contests of various sizes, goals and platforms. Whether the objective is to step outside one’s comfort zone and into the spotlight, challenge oneself to become more physically fit, parlay the experience into a real-world career or simply for the thrill of the competition, pageants continue to be a wonderful way to showcase beauty, culture, poise, talent and goodwill. We are devoted to sharing the success stories of past winners and to helping other young women create fabulous stories of their own.
