I began competing in pageants at the age of
5. My scoliosis was first detected while
participating in a pageant. There are many
misunderstandings and misrepresentations
regarding pageantry. In my case, pageantry
has been nothing but a wonderful, positive
experience. It has helped me to stay
goal-oriented and focused.
Furthermore, through the different pageant
systems, I have met some of the most
amazing people and have been blessed to
form friendships with many of them.
Pageantry has helped me to realize the
importance of accepting yourself as you are
but striving to be your best. It is about growth.
Pageantry has been part of a personal
journey for me and has been a source of
inspiration and hope.
