The latest win in Latina representation has been earned by an Austinite. At this year's pageant, Austin entrepreneur Christabell Nuñez won the crown as the Mrs. Texas Plus America 2023. The faith-based Miss America Plus Pageant has celebrated 'full-figured' women and given them recognition for causes they support since its founding in 2002, according to a press release. Nuñez is the first woman of color from Austin to take home the Texas crown in the pageant's 21-year history. Nuñez's roots in Austin's Latino culture run deep.
