Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting the #FAVulous directors from @thefavgroupinc for the upcoming Miss Virginia USA pageant along with the current Miss Virginia USA Ashley Williams and a couple Miss and Teen contestants (shout out to Erin Houston & Alexa Rodriguez).
It was so fun to connect in person and hear about everyone's own pageant journeys as well as what led them to Virginia. I shared how competing in pageants helped pay for my medical school tuition and more about my platform Healthy Habits: encouraging health literacy, accuracy, and advocacy. My story as this year's Miss Charlottesville USA was also recently featured on CBS19News:
Afterward, Miss Virginia USA wanted to see my new children's book, which teaches kids about preventing the spread of medical misinformation online: An Apple A Day: Unraveling Online Myths For Kids. Get your copy here!
The Meet & Greet was hosted at Reflections - Prom and Pageant Shop in Harrisonburg, Virginia. They had some pinterest-worthy backdrops that made for great photo opportunities.
The FAV Group is well versed in pageant production, bringing their mantra of Focus, Authenticity, and Value to life. They even have a GLAM girls experience where girls ages 6 to 13 can join in on the fun during pageant week while building lifelong skills. From interviews and rehearsals to meeting current titleholders including Miss USA and the opportunity to win their own crowns, it is never too soon to begin this #FAVulous journey. Learn more here.
I cannot wait for pageant week. Competing is more than just about winning the crown, sash, and title. It's about connecting, inspiring, learning from, and empowering others. There was so much energy and excitement, I know it's going to be a #FAVulous production. Tickets on sale soon!
