Suzi Hosfeld: Empowering Dreams Through Pageantry and Modeling
For over four decades, Suzi Hosfeld has been at the forefront of shaping dreams in the pageant and modeling world. As the president of Envy Pageant Productions Inc., which oversees some of the country’s most prestigious pageants like Miss Universal Global, Miss Legends International, and Miss Intercontinental USA, Suzi’s influence in the industry has been nothing short of transformative.
Suzi’s passion for beauty and modeling began at a young age. As the 1983 Miss Wisconsin USA, Suzi was no stranger to the stage, but her love for pageants goes beyond the crown. "I started modeling when I was just 11 years old, and I fell in love with the glamour and beauty of both pageants and modeling," she recalls. From there, Suzi grew the Envy Pageant Productions into one of the largest modeling agencies in the U.S., placing models across the country and directing pageants that celebrate talent, beauty, and empowerment for women of all ages.
For Suzi, the excitement of pageants lies in the potential she sees in each contestant. "I love helping people of all ages grow and develop their dreams," Suzi explains. "To see a young woman win the crown of her dreams is incredibly fulfilling."
However, Suzi’s path to success has not always been smooth. In a male-dominated industry, she often faced resistance and doubt from those who didn’t believe a woman could make it to the top. "When I started my career, men ran everything. I was told I would never make it. But here I am, and they're gone," she says with a proud smile. Today, Suzi’s message to young pageant hopefuls is clear: success doesn’t come instantly.
"Young people today expect quick results, but success is built on hard work and dedication. I motivate them to want more and not give up just because they didn’t win their first competition or audition."
Looking forward, Suzi has a new goal on the horizon—opening an animal rescue. "The overpopulation of dogs and cats is out of control, and we need to stop breeding," she says passionately. But even as she pursues this new venture, Suzi remains committed to the young women she’s guided throughout her career. "I want my models and contestants to know I’m always in their corner," she shares. "I want them to remember me as the person who gave them a hug after they got off the stage."
Suzi’s dedication to empowering others and helping them achieve their goals has left a lasting impact on the pageant world, and her legacy will continue to inspire future generations of contestants.

Cipriana Rizea
The Rise of The Runway Rebel
The Rise of The Runway Rebel begins with a woman who refused to let her past define her future. In only six months, Cipriana Rizea has transformed from a dreamer with no connections into a model with purpose, presence, and a rapidly growing legacy. Her journey is not polished or privileged. It is raw, powerful, and built from the kind of resilience that can only come from surviving what was meant to break her. Modeling did not just give her a career. It gave her a voice, a platform, and a new identity shaped by strength rather than pain.
Cipriana’s path to the runway began the moment she stepped onto her first catwalk. The lights, the music, the pulse of the room awakened something deep within her. For the first time, she felt fully alive and fully seen. She was no longer defined by the trauma she had escaped or the doubts others placed on her. She was defined by her fire. That moment confirmed what her heart already knew. Modeling was not just a path. It was her calling. It was the place where she could reclaim her story and turn every scar into art.
What Cipriana loves most about modeling is its power to tell stories without a single word. Every runway, every photoshoot, every pose becomes a chapter in her narrative of survival and transformation. She uses her presence to inspire others, especially women and survivors who see their own strength reflected in her rise. Modeling allows her to turn vulnerability into power, to show the world who she truly is, and to remind others that beauty and resilience can coexist. Her work is not about clothes. It is about impact.
Her biggest obstacle was starting from zero. No industry background. No connections. No open doors. Less than two years ago, she was rebuilding her life after surviving domestic violence. Entering an exclusive industry felt intimidating, but Cipriana refused to let fear stop her. Every rejection became fuel. Every challenge sharpened her discipline. Every moment of doubt pushed her to work harder. She learned that resilience is not something you are given. It is something you build. And she built it step by step until the runway became her home.
Today, Cipriana dreams of walking for Dior, a house she sees as the pinnacle of artistry and elegance. For her, it would be more than a milestone. It would be a message to every person who has ever felt unworthy or unseen. It would prove that strength can carry you from adversity to achievement and that you do not need a traditional background to rise to the top. Her legacy is already taking shape. She wants to be remembered as The Runway Rebel, a woman who turned pain into power and used her story to inspire others to rise with confidence, courage, and truth.
