Hearing Miss USA Contestants Talk About Their "Flaws" Will Make You Realize We're ALL Beautiful

For years, Miss Georgia Marianny Egurrola said she struggled with body image, especially when it came to her hips. "I tried to sign with different agencies, and a lot of them told me that because of my hips, they couldn't sign me. I remember one of them saying, 'Oh, this is our problem that we have with Latinas,'" she recalled. "I started to become self-conscious and concerned about the way my hips look, and whenever I was posting [pictures online], I was uncomfortable, I was trying to hide my hips, and I was trying to practice different poses that would make me look skinnier and different. It took me a while to realize that my body is the way it is for a reason, and that yes, genetics matter, and yes, I'm Latina, and yes, I can do anything."
