    Meet Geneva Padron - Ms. Forth Worth United World

    Geneva Padron is the reigning Ms. Fort Worth Texas United World, using pageantry as a vehicle for purpose, service, and personal restoration. After experiencing repeated cycles of academic and professional burnout, Geneva realized she needed to return to self-care and intentional living. Pageantry became a space where she could reconnect with volunteering, performance, and advocacy, while rebuilding her life and using her voice for something meaningful. Geneva is the founder of The Chrysalis Project, an initiative dedicated to helping high school and college students identify, prevent, and overcome academic burnout. Inspired by her own journey, where her identity became rooted in achievement rather than well-being, she learned during 2020 the importance of self-care through movement, faith, and community. Today, she has hosted events and continues mentoring and speaking to students across the United States.
