hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of a work in progress the podcast! Today we are doing my last pageant diary! And boyyyy is this going to be a good episode. Villain origin stories are a Hollywood trend that uses pop psychology and societal issues to explain a character's descent into villainy. They help audiences understand a character's motivations and predict their future actions. This podcast including topics such as the impact of a role model on my personal aspirations, an empowering message to pageant girls and women, navigating the politics and hierarchy in campus pageantry, navigating setbacks and disappointments in college extracurricular activities, my redemption journey through pageants in college, trusting in God’s higher plan and divine intervention and even a couple of secret pageants! As I was creating the manuscript and thinking about what I wanted to share I decided to do a TELL ALL! There’s actually so much that you all don’t know about my pageant experience, so I’m going to share my full pageant story today. Sit back and enjoy me reminiscing, spilling tea and giving context to my villain origin story!
