## Pageant Politics

[edit]

Beauty Pageants, especially in Latin America, have a history as incubators for social change. Katharine Renpenning, a Mennonite woman from Cuauhtémoc, was crowned Miss Chihuahua in 1987. She later used her platform to found a language tourism business and help establish a state agency focused on supporting Mennonite communities in Chihuahua.[2]
