Young Latina women compete in pageant in hopes of winning a scholarship

More than a dozen young women took the stage for the Nuestra Reina-Hillsborough Scholarship Pageant. From ages five to 18, young women showed off their talents while proudly representing their roots. "We started little because we wanted to make sure that these young ladies could see all their mentors, see all these young ladies and what they have done. They're CEOs, they are very strong Latinas," Rocio Smith, organizer, explained. From the style of dresses to the colors, it all painted a picture of the many different Hispanic backgrounds that make up Hillsborough County.
