Empowerment means they are respected and confident in their communities, people having power and control over their own lives. Empowerment of women will surely encourage all of the women to stand for their education and the life of their own choice.

World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What inspired you to do your first pageant? I have always been passionate about beauty, fashion, and self expression. Pageants promote goal setting and will surely inspire a candidate to search her soul, think about the future and make a plan on how to get there. Sometimes, the pageant itself is a stepping stone to achieving their dream and goals.

World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Why did you choose to compete for your current title?

The number one of a million reasons to enter a beauty pageant is to build self confidence and to express one self and share Gods given talent and to become an inspiration to other kids.

World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: To those unfamiliar with your pageant system please tell us what is it about?

Our Pageant experience focus on the inside of every girl to bring out her true beauty to the outside. We were taught to love ourselves and not to treat or see other candidates as our competitor instead we build friendship and just enjoy the whole experience.

I believe that we are judged by our whole personality, not just physical presentation but mentally.
