Hi, I’m Chelsea Roberts, and for the past three years, I’ve been honored to be a Still She Rose ambassador, working alongside a dedicated community to advocate for mental health awareness. Over the last 2.5 years, I’ve served as the Social Media Coordinator, using my voice to help shine a light on the importance of mental health, especially for those who feel unheard or unseen.
My personal journey into this work is deeply rooted in my childhood. I watched my mother battle mental illness while also living with a terminal illness. It was heartbreaking, and at times, incredibly difficult to get her the help she desperately needed. Witnessing her struggles made me realize how vital it is for us to speak out about mental health and remove the stigma that surrounds it. No one should feel alone or unsupported in their fight.
That’s why I am asking for your support today. I want to help others who are facing similar challenges, whether they’re caring for loved ones or navigating their own mental health journey. I want to offer a sense of hope to those who are in the darkest moments, to let them know that they are not alone and that healing is possible.
Your donation will go toward providing resources, support, and awareness campaigns, specifically focusing on ensuring that those struggling with mental health issues, like my mom, can access the help they deserve without barriers. Together, we can make a difference.
Thank you for your support, your empathy, and your willingness to be part of this journey with me. Let’s help bring hope, raise awareness, and create a world where no one has to fight their mental health battle alone.

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.
