What does it really take to represent an entire state — culture, beauty, leadership, confidence and all? This week on Latinas Power Talk, we sit down with Carolina Quintero, Miss Arizona Latina 2025, for an unfiltered conversation about the realities behind the sash. We talk about the moments people don’t see. The pressure of carrying our comunidad with grace and navigating expectations, criticism, and self-doubt. Carolina opens up about faith, family, identity, and the purpose behind the pageant world. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to walk in a queen’s shoes — this is your episode.
