Susie Castillo Instagram – On this day 20 years ago I became the 3rd Latina to win #MissUSA in San Antonio, TX🎉🎊
I didn’t grow up doing pageants but I started acting/modeling when I was 14 and wanted to continue pursuing that dream. After graduating from college I wanted to move to Los Angeles, get a great agent, and get to work, but I didn’t know a single soul out in Los Angeles. I saw the opportunity of Miss USA as a potential door-opener so I decided to compete! I was excited, scared, and worked hard to prepare for the journey. Thankfully it all worked out in my favor. I won, signed with an agent and moved to Los Angeles! 20 years later, I’m still here, living my wildest dreams🙏🏼
Shoutout to @realpaulashugart who, on the morning after I won, asked me what I wanted to do after my year as Miss USA was over. 2 weeks later she introduced me to one of the biggest agencies in Hollywood and they ended up being my agents. Forever grateful to you, Paula💕🤗
