Why i chose pageantry
I entered the world of pageantry as part of my self-love journey following a difficult period in my life. After years of struggling with low confidence and self-worth, I challenge myself to change my life for the better by doing one small, positive action a day. I called it my This Time Next Year Challenge. As my confidence grew, I pushed myself further and further out of my comfort zone until I found pageantry and a whole new world opened up for me.
Pageantry gave me a platform to dream big, live boldly, and prove to myself that I am capable of more than I ever thought possible. Now only that, but it’s given me the opportunity to empower other women too.
It’s not just about wearing a crown; it’s about what you do with it.
Representing Neath Port Talbot
I’m so proud to represent Neath Port Talbot, a town on the south coast of Wales known for its strong sense of community and industrial heritage. It’s a place full of grit, kindness, and heart.
Growing up in Port Talbot shaped who I am. It means the world to bring our story into spaces where we’re often overlooked and to show others from small towns that they can dream big too.
Unbreakable Shine
Alongside pageantry, I’m the founder of Unbreakable Shine, a foundation that supports women and girls through confidence-building, emotional abuse awareness, and self-esteem education.
As Ms Pageant Girl Port Talbot, I use my platform to deliver workshops, create resources, and run campaigns that remind every woman she is enough, just as she is.
