Since I've had so many questions I thought I would try to answer them all here...
I will be competing for the title of Miss International in Chicago, July 22-27. I will have Preliminary competition on Friday night then if I make top ten I will compete in the final competition Saturday night. We have four areas of competition; Interview which is 40% of our score then the remaining is made up of Evening Gown, Active Wear and Fun Fashion Wear. The competition is not televised but you can support me in another way....You can vote for me on the International Website! Part of these proceeds will go to the International Charity of Go Red for Women.
One thing I love about pageantry but especially about the International System is the charity/platform portion. Women are encouraged to find a cause close to their heart and volunteer with that cause. As many of you know I am promoting the importance of mental health. This is a cause close to my heart for many reasons!
I am so excited for this opportunity. I have never been to Chicago but I have been told I will love it. I am looking forward to meeting the other contestants and the staff. I have heard countless praises about Mary Richardson and the International System. I cannot wait to see what this week will hold. Its just 27 days away!
