As a suicide attempt survivor turned advocate, I’m raising funds to support Still She Rose, a mental wellness program for women in pageantry.
The pageant community is comprised of resilient and tenacious women from across the globe. Each of us has a story we bring to the stage, a passion we advocate for. Under the glamor, women can still struggle with their mental health. Queens stay silent to avoid conversations around their mental health to preserve their image, their likeness, and more.
Still She Rose serves as a beacon in this industry to help queens understand you can struggle, you can have bad days, and you are still a queen in spite of it all.
Every contribution helps provide hope, education, and resources to the pageant community. Thank you for your support in the mission to create safe spaces for conversations about mental wellness, in the industry and beyond.

Still She Rose is a wellness program for leaders, women and teens in the pageant industry. Funded by the B4ACUSA Foundation, wellness program initiatives are open to all pageant community members.
The ROSE is symbolic of the spirit that grows within each of us when proper care and attention is applied.
Together, we can encourage wellness through self care, positive body image, renewed self esteem and affirmation of one's identity beyond pageantry. We aim to engage in a conversation of support, honesty, reflection and awareness, in order to promote wellness as the foundation of the pageant industry.
Because each of us can say, She Struggled; and Still She Rose.
