My name Christina Nguyen- Mrs Tennessee Petite 2025- Petite USA
What does beauty mean to you, and how do you see it in others?
In my opinion, beauty is not derived from one’s physical appearance, but rather from the goodness of your heart.
If you could give one message to young girls growing up today, what would it be?
Treat yourself with love and kindness. It’s okay to make mistakes; we can learn from them and grow into the best versions of ourselves.
How do you balance self-confidence with humility?
The balance to have enough self-confidence to embrace the imperfection of others.
In a world that often promotes external perfection, how do you maintain inner peace?
I believe our Creator helped me to accept what I cannot change and to empower what I can change.
What personal quality are you most proud of, and how has it shaped your life?
Being a mom is amazing and I’m grateful for every stage in life, it’s a journey I appreciate it more and more each day.
If you had one year and unlimited resources to help your community, what would you do?
As a former foster mom, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and caring for many children. It’s heartbreaking to see them age out of the system and have to fend for themselves. That’s why I’m passionate about becoming a child advocate, supporting special children currently in placement and those transitioning out of the system.
Describe a moment when you failed — and what it taught you about yourself.
Three years ago, our marriage derailed, but I chose to forgive and give us a second chance, allowing me to reflect, grow, and become a better, wiser, and more compassionate person.
Who is a woman you admire deeply, and why?
I was only a year old when I lost my dad, and my mom’s unwavering dedication been inspiring – she’s always been my rock, offering love and support every step of the way.
If you could change one thing in the world right now, what would it be — and why?
The way people look at each other- it’s not about how you look, but about the beauty of the love you share.
What kind of person do you think does well in the pageant?
Beauty pageant not just a crown and sash, it begins the moment you choose to use your voice, stand in your purpose and serve with your heart, inspiring other by simply being YOU.
I’m thankful for USA Petite’s sisterhood, which has introduced me to numerous incredible women who have become a constant source of encouragement, pushing me to grow and helping me uncover my passions and aspirations in life.
Participating in this pageant world has been a transformative experience that has taught me so much about myself and the importance of spreading love and support to those around me, and I’m committed to continuing this journey regardless of the outcome.
