Meet Farrah McGraw: A Rising Star Competing in Miss South America

Miramichi's own Farrah McGraw is set to make waves in the international beauty pageant arena as she competes in the prestigious Miss South America pageant in Lima, Peru. This year’s edition of the pageant not only showcases beauty but also emphasizes the values of inclusivity, social impact, and personal growth—principles that resonate deeply with Farrah.

A New Vision for Beauty Pageantry

The Miss South America organization, founded by Santiago Delgadillo, is redefining the beauty pageant landscape. Moving away from traditional requirements like height and body measurements, the pageant aims to create a more inclusive platform for candidates from the South American region. This progressive approach aligns with the organization’s mission, as stated on their Facebook page: "We seek the holistic growth of the individual through beauty pageants, eradicating stereotypes and promoting active social work."

At just 24 years old, Farrah McGraw embodies the modern beauty queen. Hailing from New Brunswick, she holds bachelor’s degrees in biochemistry and biology from the Université de Moncton and aspires to further her education in dentistry or genetics.

Farrah’s passion for community service shines through her role as a volunteer tutor since 2019, where she has been instrumental in helping immigrant families learn French and adapt to their new environment.
