Susie Castillo Instagram – Back where it all started 💜
I had the most beautiful weekend with my @missmausa @missmateenusa pageant sisters and my dear @clementeorganization family (minus the 4am fire alarm at the hotel on Sunday 😂)!
Happy 25th anniversary to our fierce leader and one of the best state directors in the biz—OG whose love is unwavering @clemente.laurie. You are a blessing in our lives and we love you, Laurie 💖
It was an honor to be part of the judges panel that selected @averyyturnerr as our new #MissMaTeenUSA. These young women stepped outside of their comfort zone to participate in this pageant and I was once again in awe of them. So many intelligent and fierce girls🔥💪🏼
Miss MA Teen USA was the first pageant I ever competed in. It was 1997, I was 17, and I didn’t win #MissTeenUSA but it set me on the path to win #MissUSA 5 years later, which changed my life forever! It always makes me emotional attending the pageant because I know what just competing can do for these young women in terms of personal growth. If you win a national pageant, even more so.
It’s a huge deal and I want to wish @averyyturnerr @melissasapini all the luck in the world as they prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime and their chance to become @MissTeenUSA & @MissUSA! | Posted on 12/Mar/2024 20:50:08
