You think you’re competitive? Zoey Grenier was a highly decorated, international ski racer, before an injury forced her to consider other options for college. Crazy, because that’s when her pageant journey first began! And although pageants may not have been Zoey’s first choice, she knew they would push her to become a better version of herself. Zoey is driven and her perspective is fascinating… Hear for yourself on today’s Pageant Junkies Podcast.
I have a confession. As much as I love interviewing current titleholders, there are gobs and heaps and oodles of wisdom that come from ladies who have a few years under their belt, post-Miss America. Case in point: Miss Kansas 2009, Becki Ronen Walenz, is a Perfect 10 on the Wisdom Scale. Becki truly exemplifies what this program is all about – and is the embodiment of an exceptional state titleholder. You absolutely won’t want to miss this honest and compelling interview on the Pageant Junkies Podcast!
