Stephanie Bartage - Miss Red Stick USA 2023

We asked Stephanie a few questions about the upcoming Miss Louisiana USA pageant that she will be competing in.

How are you feeling about the pageant now all the contestants have been announced and it’s getting closer? I feel excited and eager to compete along side all these beautiful ladies.

How has your prep been building up to Miss Louisiana USA? As a beginner I know I will learn a lot from this experience and I cannot wait to represent the city of Baton Rouge as Miss Red Stick USA on that stage as well as represent the great new change in pageantry by proving that mothers are capable of so much more. It has been a really busy time preparing for Miss Louisiana USA but I love the strength and growth it has provided me. I have worked with The Crowning Moment to ensure I am as prepared as I can be walking into this pageant but a big part of preparing is also talking to myself and understanding that I have already won by taking this big step.

What are you most excited about? I am excited most about meeting the other contestants and creating strong friendships. I respect all of these girls and I am rooting for each and everyone of them.

Are there any sponsors/partners you want to give a shoutout to?  Thank you to Caras and Faces for the endless support. Thank you to Zoé Boutique & Spray Foam Jefe for being a excellent example of leadership. Lastly thank you to Bartage and Anderson Attorneys for never once doubting my ability to make a difference.
